I'm drinking a cuppa right now AIFG! I'm so glad I went to the doc right away, and I'm so glad she warned me about how long this would last and wrote me a note. Otherwise, I'd probably be out in the cold trying to work and making it worse.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am so glad you are taking care of yourself instead of trying to do this.

I have been quite productive today and now I am going home. Tomorrow we've got a postgraduate research conference. I'm refusing on principle to go to the first session, where a biologist is talking about the toxic properties of tea. I think it would push me over the edge. There's not much point to existence without tea.
My academic support worker has agreed to be my lecturing support worker (are you keeping up, here?) - govt agency asked me to ask her. This must be a good sign.
Sorry for board-spamming today. I really am having the oddest day. In a good way. I think.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We've restricted the crew to essential functions only in the hopes of making it out of here, but every advance seems to be countered with a setback. Captain's log, signing off.
Thankfully, main computer systems appear unaffected.

Seska, after all the stuff out there showing health benefits of tea drinking, I suppose that this would be rather like discussing possible adverse reactions to common, lifesaving medications.

Definitely do not go to this, and if you do please don't tell me about it.

Without tea I would do nothing but shout at people and throw things all day. It's too risky. If not to me, then to my relationship with The Girl, who I'm sure would not put up with me without my regular doses of the stuff. (This is not actually the reason I can't attend that session. I will get the notes. I'm grouchy about it all the same!)

Speaking of which, I really need to take my lunchtime walk today, since I missed it yesterday.
