Aww, smonster. I'm sorry this trip was so hard for you. Rest up.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[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.

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.
sj, I'm sorry you are having so much pain today.
Barb, lots of book~ma for you.
Do they let them dress as Gaiman's Death?
Death, yes. Delirium, no. Unless the friend just happens to be Cyndi Lauper.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ow. Both ankles and hips are hurting. Can't sleep. But I can't take anything for it, because I've got to be up early tomorrow, and anything that actually helps would also make me groggy tomorrow.

sj, I'm sorry you are having so much pain today.
Thank you. It's not as bad right now, it just made it impossible to do a proper workout today, which made me feel like I was going backward instead of moving forward. I had a good cry about it on the phone with Mom, which helped. She's trying to remind me that I am doing a lot lately, and that just going to PT today rather than staying home with the pain should be considered somewhat of a victory.
{{{Hil}}} I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with so much pain as well. I hope you can get some sleep.

Death, yes. Delirium, no. Unless the friend just happens to be Cyndi Lauper.
I'm trying to think who could dress as Desire? Young David Bowie? Annie Lennox?

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

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Less-pain~ma for sj and Hil.
I went on this at the weekend: [link]
The wheelchair-users were at the front, which was very helpful. I'm hoping to write it up at 'Where's the Benefit' this week. It was awesome (despite the media's exclusive focus on a few renegade troublemakers out of 500,000 peaceful marchers). Concerningly, the government is now threatening to remove the right to protest from anyone it chooses. Scary times we live in.
Hope everyone's well. I wrote two conference proposals in two hours yesterday and now I am tired. Here's hoping I get one of them accepted! Now I just have to read a book on something called teleological realism before Thursday and write a research design in the next week. But I have chosen a dress for my wedding, which is mitigating the stress somewhat.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Askye, there is much to love about finding yourself in all new surroundings. As several here have attested. All the best to you in your move!
Less pain to sj.
More clear to smonster.
Aims, the ones who bullied never believed it was "all that bad" on the ones who were bullied. She needs reminding--and some clear information that isn't "whining". School her. I know you can do it.
Book-ma, Barb.
The world needs Ryan pictures every blinkin' day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yeah, this. I said it too, earlier, but I was less polite and well-spoken than Beverly, so I didn't post it.
She's trying to remind me that I am doing a lot lately, and that just going to PT today rather than staying home with the pain should be considered somewhat of a victory.
This is very much true. Just showing up at PT and doing the best you can do that day is moving forward, not backwards. Even if you can't do a "proper" workout, you're making progress.
