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.
Awesome, Teppy! (fingers crossed for no U-Haul breakdown, or if it does, it's closer to Texas than to Cincinnati.)
Yay smonster for coming to New Orleans tonight! Where are you staying? How long are you gonna be in town, again?
I am so so so burnt out on everything.
Glad your house is back down to the two of you, Teppy.
she always reminds me to take 2 Benadryl with my migraine drugs (if I'm not going to be driving anywhere). And, you know, it has worked, and I always forget to do it.
Benadryl is part of my ER cocktail (along with dilaudid, an anti-inflammatory, and an anti-nausea med). Doctors don't always get why it's there, and even though I know it works towards migraine mitigation, it turns out the preferred anti-nausea meds give me an anxiety attack without it, so I can usually point at that and get it put back in.
So, I booked my plane ticket last night for my sudden vacation (still waiting to hear back on the hotel, eek) after they said they didn't need me to go anywhere. This morning, I get an email saying "ooh, wait, my bad--if you're still free, we could use you in Guatemala!" Sigh. Oh well, vacation will be funner.
Tep, that's so great. And I'm glad the ex's son appreciates the awesomeness that is Tim, and what he's done for him.
I'll have to try the benedryl trick next time I get a migraine.
So, my "sneaking a nap" turned into 3 hrs of sleep. Oops, but I really needed it. Now I need to load the car and get to my parents'. Maybe I can do a little work there...

Corner of Frenchmen and Burgundy, and I'm leaving next Saturday afternoon. I'm about to send out an email to a bunch of people, but I don't suppose you'd be up for getting me from the airport tonight at 11:40 pm? I'm staying with Heather G, have you met her? She's AWESOME.
OMG, you guys, the production of "Frankenstein" last night was AMAZING. The whole piece is the story of the monster himself, and it starts with almost 10 minutes of him onstage alone. It begins with his "birth," then struggling to gain control over his movements and then finally walking. Completely riveting and physical acting and Cumberbatch nailed it. Just transcendent.
Damn, I wish I could have seen that! Both for the subject, and for Cumberbatch.
I can tell I'm gonna be useless today. Apparently I was useless yesterday too; I sent an issue to the printer and totally forgot to send the accompanying paperwork, and forgot to tell the art people to send the cover image to the printer. I've been doing this little dance-of-the-printer-batch about every four weeks for ten years. How did I manage to forget half the steps? I mean, no big deal; I took care of it this morning and all is well, and my boss didn't even get a chance to yell at me. But still. I may be even more burned-out than I realize, if my mind is pulling away from my job to the point that I can barely DO my job. I need a long vacation.
In summary, hookers and blow.
Where are you going on your sudden vacation, meara?
Teppy, meant to say, congrats on getting Tim's ex's son on his merry way with such minimal drama!
I'm going to a little town in Mexico near Puerto Vallarta, called Sayulita. It's got better beaches than PV--which I've only been to once, and it was fun (with a bunch of friends about three years ago) and that trip we took a daytrip to Sayulita and had fun, so I figured WTH--there are still lots of frequent flier seats available on Alaska, if anyone wants to join me! :)
OH and here is where I WISH I were staying OMG:
