Jilli, that is awful. I am so sorry. And sorry you can't have an adult beverage as well.

[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.

{{{Jilli}}} I'm sorry. Seriously 2011, back off our Jilli.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Damn, Jilli. I am so very sorry about that. And the not being able to have some absinthe is a total insult to injury. Stupid drug interactions.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Jilli, that seriously sucks. I hope a wonderful opportunity comes knocking very soon.

{{{{{Jilli}}}}} That is just rotten. I am so sorry.

ION, I just had a good but emotionally draining conversation with my mom. It was good, and ended well, but now I'm feeling self-inflicted (by no means mom-inflicted) guilt at having rocked the boat.
(To make a long story short, she accidentally tripped a trigger I didn't even know I had regarding some experiences in the church I had been in for a long time, and I needed to talk to her about it.)
Feeling drained and a bit shaky.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Anne}} I hope that the good more than soothes the tough emotions. Peaceful rest wishes.

Thank you, Laura. The draining has to do with the nice little double-whammy that I don't feel I have the right (in general) to speak up, complain, protest, rock the boat, etc. So I spoke up about that after Mom unintentionally shut me down when I needed to vent, and that triggered guilt about speaking up. Argh.

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.
Retro-active~ma for Drew.
Job~ma for Jilli. It just really sucks that you need it again so soon.
Anne, I wish there were magic words that would make those kinds of guilt just evaporate. But since there aren't, the best I can do is wish that the guilt is soon replaced by a sense of pride in the accomplishment of having spoken up for yourself, even though it goes against your conditioning. You do deserve peopled to speak up for you, even if you have to be the one to do it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Y'all, I e-mailed with Jilli, and there's no reason she can't have alcohol on a *very* occasional basis. The drug that told her she shouldn't have alcohol with it *does* lose its effectiveness when the patient is a chronic alcohol drinker. But one drink, very once in a while, won't do anything other than make her loopy.
So I hope she's having that absinthe now, or on her way to having it.
