Even without the complications various chemical/mental/emotional challenges produce, Bev, two people who are all of a sudden retired and spending all of their time together are faced with difficulty! It's a huge change! I'm wondering if there are opportunities for one or both of you to volunteer or be engaged separately in outside-the-house activities?
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Working on that, java.

I hope that didn't sound patronizing?? So didn't mean it that way.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
AHAHAHA YES. Also known as "if work was more like a video game I'd be queen of the fucking universe"
So very much This.
Wishing you less pain and fewer irritating students today, Hil.
It's work work work for me. I'm amusingly (and scarily) productive at the moment. Except I can't bring myself to start writing the first thesis chapter that my supervisor wants. It's less frightening to read another book.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Whenever we get a long weekend or day home together, DH looks at me and says, "Just think, when we're retired, we'll get to spend ALL our time together."
One of us won't survive.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got today off (no classes on Thursdays), but I've got to grade quizzes and work on my notes for tomorrow's classes. But right now, I'm watching Buffy on Oxygen. They're showing "Becoming 2" now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Andi, I bought that book a while ago - probably on a previous recommendation from you - and I have yet to read it. Guess this time I can go shopping in my bookshelves!

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.
ZenKitty, I found my copy at a library sale on Buck-a-bag day. I got nine other books. I'm pretty sure that was the best ten cents I've ever spent on a book.

I found it! Under a bunch of gardening books. I'll start reading today.
