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

Closed Threads

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, no, Barb. I hope it all gets cleaned up with a minimum of fuss and bother. And money.

I went to the farmer's market early, where I got a ton of yum: the last of the asparagus, tomatoes, a cuke, snap peas, lettuce.

I'm seeing a salmon salad on the lettuce, tabbouleh with the cuke and tomatoes, and mint from my garden.

And pasta with chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, snap peas and a few asparagus tips.

Then I wrote for couple of hours, and developed a tremendous headache. I lay down for a bit after taking some aspirin, and fell asleep for two hours.

I am not a napper, but my headache's better.

Hil, that would have put me on edge. I hate taking a wrong turn when driving, never mind on mountain roads.

Hi, Pix! Are you officially on summer vacation?

The status is NOT quo.

I am! ...except that I found out this morning I have to go through about 50 resumes, widdle down the pile, have initial phone interviews, and schedule final interviews with the best candidates for the US intern position (because s/he will be teaching one section of 9th or 10th English). So maybe after next week.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am really frustrated with my continued sadness. Coupled with stress from house stuff and money stuff and organizing a fundraiser and work stuff.

I just miss my Grandma and I just want to run away and hide.

Which is weird, because now I live in the place where I would run to and hide in.

Well, good luck getting that done quickly so that you can relax!

Is an intern like a student teacher or what, pix?

Thanks, sj. I just can't shake this sadness. It's affecting everything I try to do.

It's not LOGICAL. She was 94, I hadn't seen her since September, we were all expecting it. She hadn't been all there for months, I haven't been able to connect with her since last summer. I shouldn't be so morose.

You said it yourself, Nora, it's not logical. It is as it is, as the preacher who did my mother's funeral said. You're going to have to stand there and hurt for a while. Think of it as a final tribute to your grandma. It will ease off eventually. Really. We're here with you all the way.

I don't think there's a should or shouldn't with sadness, Nora. It's kind of just is or isn't.

And give yourself a break; it just happened. It's ok to be really sad about it for a while.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I shouldn't be so morose.

There's no shouldn't to how you feel and there's certainly no logic. Don't try to talk yourself out of being sad. Sometimes it doesn't feel real until it's actually real. Also, it doesn't help that you know she'd be sad about the way people are behaving.
