When packing for motorcycle trips with very limited cargo space, I have had to learn the value of quick-dry fabrics. Something like this: [link] I wear it all day, then rinse and hang it at the hotel and change into a nicer shirt for dinner. It's dry by the next morning. I can get by for a week with three of these (so I don't have to wash stuff every night), a "nicer" shirt and a sweater or hoodie.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

“Not dead yet!”
And thanks some more for the good wishes, all. So far it's been a very low-key ordinary day-- (no extravagant gifts for us since a) we're replacing our deck and b) we're saving for next year which will be HAWAII.)
In different news, I find myself somewhat bemused by the fact that I'm researching hairpieces and extensions so I can do my hair properly for next week's ballroom competition. (And Jilli, my smooth gown is cupcake pink.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay. I tried to make one phone call, it was too late in the day. Made another one, got an unsatisfactory result. Two more to go. Blecch.

Happy anniversary, Barb!
I just wish someone would tell them that it's "Prix fixe" not "Prefix"
I saw a post elsewhere from someone who was knitting a blanket with "Doctor Who motives."

"Doctor Who motives."
Curiosity, wanderlust, righteousness, and pain?
Man, damn. Trying to reset my password on my online cable account, and it's driving me bonkers. If I pay over the phone there's a $10 charge. Arrgh.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
And the announcement for who will be layed off has been delayed another week. That's the second delay. It's like playing Russian Roulette, and not knowing if it's your turn, or how many dry fires there have been.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Uggh, hate that, Omnis. It's hard as heck - we lost one more today. And as bad as you feel for the guy who lost his job, you still can't help that feeling of relief that you're employed for another day. And minor survivor's guilt. Anyway, good luck to you.

My lungs feel like crap. I'm telling myself it's asthma--which I have--and not heart. Dammit, I had the stress test a week ago, I would think that if there was something horrible in the results someone would have picked up a phone and let me know.

Oh yeah! I remember this being a thing my first month of cable too. You can call the customer service and they'll work it out with you.

I'll call them back tomorrow, Nora, thanks.
