amyth, I am so sorry for the pain. Please know my thoughts are with you.
dcj, back pain is just awful. I hope you find relief soon.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have to trek out to my car and get my bag with all the papers to grade in it.
I think I'll salt the stairs and walk again. I know I'll have to shovel tomorrow, but maybe DH won't kill himself getting into the house today, and there'll be a little less snow to shovel tomorrow.
Maybe.
I think I may park in front of the TV with a cup of hot chocolate and watch episodes of Clean House while grading papers.

I know! I feel kind of bad about it -- "MOR SNOW NEWZ! -- but it's kind of the Big Thing going on right now.
My window is right here by my computer in the office, so I just keep watching it pour down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Blizardpocalypse isn't supposed to start here until 4 PM. But it sounds like it could be the biggest snowstorm in Chicago history. So, exciting!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
We're still getting lots of sleet tickety-ticking against the windows. No snow yet, but it will be here soon. Apparently, we're right on the edge between the snow and freezing rain in this storm, so we're getting a patchwork of wintry stuff across the St. Louis area.

DH just texted he's being sent home now.
Gov't CONTRACTORS are being sent home; it's for sure the snowy end of the world, as DH has NEVER been sent home early in 7 years.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
DJ, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
All the "it just happens" stories are making me existentially terrified.
amyth, my condolences; it's so hard even when you know it's the right thing to do. I've never had to put a pet down, and I dread it, because I know it's inevitable.
sj, I hope the procedures go easy and make you feel much better.
Vortex, good grief. Like you needed more flakes in your snowy universe.
Daniel, OUCH. Have good drugs!
drama is when stuff really changes
Oh, lordy, I wish this were true of my niece. The drama is when she's awake.
Stay safe and warm in the Snowpocalypse, everyone!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The Blizardpocalypse isn't supposed to start here until 4 PM.
I just got home(yay! they let us go early!) and it is snowing but not Blizzardpocalypse levels yet. Still, glad I'm home and don't have to drive home later!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
smonster, possible miscarriage??!?!? Good gravy. I wish you all the best today. Text me if you need to.
Thanks, bonny, Zen, everyone. I forgot to mention: the vet called me later in the day to make sure I was okay. They are so awesome. I need to bake them cookies or something when I get my energy back.
The drama is when she's awake.
Zenkitty, I know she's a stressor on you, but this made me laugh.
Right now, we're planning a recycling video in our office. Ideas so far: an Inception parody about incepting frat boys to use compostable Solo cups for beer pong instead of plastic Solo cups ("It's not impossible, it's just bloody difficult.") and one with us all karate chopping cardboard boxes for some reason. I think we're a little punchy today.
