I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

How did things go at the doctor's today, Trudy?

Pretty well, thank you! The stitches are out and tomorrow I bathe! The swelling is down nicely. I'm in the surgical gladiator-style shoes for one more week and then I get to start wearing sneakers.

The doc agrees with using a cane for a while as much for keeping people from getting too close to my feet and getting seats on the subway as for the support. They will tire easily for a while yet and sitting is something I'll want to do frequently.

Laura, I am SO relieved to hear about your mother!

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.

I'm glad you are recouperating well, Trudy.

And Laura, I am so glad that the word on your mom is all treatable.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Laura, good to hear the positive news for your mom.

Be prepared to weaponize it. A few weeks with my dad showed me that some people are not exactly aware of mobility challenges. Or they are horrible people. I try to give the benefit of the doubt.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I think i may skip my tradition post-work workout session today. First day of new (4 hrs later) shift and i am soooo ready to flop into bed. Also, spent an hr shoveling and raking dirt this morning so that counts as my physical exertion for the day, yes?

Sword cane it is!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sword cane it is!

Pfft. Sword canes are almost expected these days. You really wanna catch them offguard? Flail cane.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The smonster has landed, repeat, the smonster has landed. And is waiting for her bag of tools.

Glad you're healing well, Trudy.

Good that it's treatable, Laura. Best thoughts for your mom.

Gah. Tired.
