Happy Birthday, Nora!

How's your back?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Back is doing better, due to my carefully calibrated beer drinking and booty shaking regimen last night. It's a bit sore still, but more like stiff/tight muscle, not ouchy/spasm-y/searing pain. YAY.
I also started taking some Chinese herbal supplement for lower back health yesterday, maybe that figured into things? Probably not but I'm all about the magical thinking and placebo effect if it takes the pain away.

Ahahahaha. We should become yoga buddies. Or just go dancing more.
Thanks again for the support. As I said to Nora last night, maybe I just scared her with talk of her finding another place. I don't give a shit, as long as she stays civil.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Nora!

Me too. What supplement is it?

I definitely have a uti. I also got my flu shot while I was there.
Teppy, do I have to avoid alcohol on cipro?

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

I think she did not communicate well with you AT ALL and is probably not good long-term roommate material. I also commend you for thinking about how your own behavior contributed to the impasses you guys went through. We all have to deal with people who are damaged or opaque or just temporarily preoccupied and it's good to learn from mis-steps, which is hard but exactly what I think you were doing. So, go you!
This next part isn't about you, smonster, but what you just went through touched on something I've been feeling for a while. I think that support in Bitches sometimes spills over into demonizing whoever or whatever makes a Buffista feel bad, and that can hinder getting to a healthy place. I think we all need a reality check sometimes and sometimes it seems to me that we (Buffistas) fail to do that.
It's hard, I know, as lots of times a person just needs to vent and a reality check is the completely wrong thing. Sometimes, though, people are struggling with emotions or figuring out a situation and simple validation may not be the most helpful choice.
What do you think, Bitches? Am I off the mark?
