You know, right now, all you can do is damage control. Get through this semester and don't sign up for more without clear boundaries. And get some good sleep.

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.

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'd settle for somewhat adequate sleep.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, I would probably be either caving under from undeserved guilt or blowing up the relationship right now, if I were in your place. So, yeah, I have no advice, and I am deeply appreciative of the wisdom of the hivemind.
There's no way in darkest Hades I could deal with a child who was threatening me and biting me on a regular basis. That child has learned that no one will hurt her because she's a little kid, and there's no other constraint she cares about that her parents will enforce. As a little kid, I was very much influenced by guilt and the fear of my parents' disappointment. I can't imagine the shit I could have done if I hadn't been.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Me: billytea would be so proud.
He would! Did Mal learn of the sarcastic fringehead from the Life series?
My Amazon UK order arrived this week (insanely quickly, and free shipping, which I am pimping to everyone I meet). It includes Attenborough's First Life. There's this thoroughly charming moment in the "making of" special, where the bus with all the camera gear is bogged in mud in Morocco. David is sitting out at the film site with his friend Richard Fortey, a leading expert on trilobites (I have this book of his: [link] ).
Anyway, while they're waiting under the Moroccan sun, Richard pipes up with, "I've been thinking of making a movie about trilobites. ...I'd call it, 'Thoracic Park'."
Thoroughly charming.

My sleep cycle is entirely frelled. I'm barely awake during daylight hours anymore, which makes it oddly difficult to get anything done.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy anniversary, billytea!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've been there, Zen. It sucks.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Could I request a little ~ma this morning? Nothing major, but I have my annual review today. I think it should go well, but I'm entering a period of high stress on the job and have skated a bit too close to some deadlines.
Fortunately, it's first thing so at least I don't have to be on pins and needles all day long.
