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.

Was he too drunk to drive? That's the only reason I could think of to refuse...and then he should have called you a cab.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I have been in a hellacious funk all weekend, most likely the birthday blues (turned 45 on Saturday). I ended up blowing off two events Sunday and Monday that I'd been looking forward to because I. Could. Not. Deal. Apparently, wallowing in my bad mood was a better option than sucking it up. Thank God I had already scheduled today as a vacation day, because I would have hated going into work (though, sadly, I think I could deal with that better than either of the social events I didn't go to). Still feeling foul today, and I have zero appetite and really need to eat. Bleh.

Anyway, I just needed to get that out there. Sorry to be a bummer.

Aw, I'm sorry you had such a crap weekend, Frank. I'd wish you a happy belated birthday but it sounds like such a thing is not happening right now... I wish you an awesome year going forward, though!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Thanks, Nora, I appreciate the thought. I probably didn't help my cause by (1) drinking too much the last few days and (2) not eating terribly well, and the self-sabotage is finally getting really apparent today. It's funny (in a not fun way) how easy it is to slip into bad behavior and not realize the fact until later when it catches up.

Oh well, I always preferred making resolutions around my birthday rather than at New Years and I think I have a couple I have to work on now.

Anyway, I need to start simple, like with a shower. Maybe get laundry done so I feel like I've done something constructive this weekend. I need to eat, but I'm not feeling remotely hungry right now.

Ugh, I know this one well. Hope today is productive and helps bring you back up to baseline. I recommend watching some fun TV on DVD and maybe doing some cooking?

Sorry your birthday was - as Matilda would put it - poopy. May the day off be a good bounce back for you, Frank.

Hope you feel better frank!

After last nights scooter drama, this morning I called to change my flight to tomorrow (after finding out I can do the stuff thurs/fri instead of wed/thurs which wasn't working)...only to find out tomorrow's flights are sold out. So had to get the ok from boss to stay an extra day and then race the fuck around packing--I thought I'd have all today to do that and laundry and so on! Agh.

Got up v early thinking I could check if later was ok or if it had to be cancelled all together and then Go back to sleep!! But no.
