I just did my first push up set. Ow. I'm glad I don't have to do that again until Wednesday.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

[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.

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.
His loss. Saner people cherish the opportunity to talk with you.
And so do we.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Spoon Theory is excellent.

The Spoon Theory made me sniffly.

I shared the spoon theory with my BFF last weekend, and she really liked it.

Oh! That is brilliant; I love it. It's so true; I'm always thinking about what I will do will affect my insomnia.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My biggest problem with incorporating the spoon theory into my life (I want to be clear I DON'T mean "biggest problem" in the sense that I disagree with the spoon theory) is that I don't feel like I have the "right" to use my spoons differently than healthy people. If that makes sense.
Like today -- I have a migraine that's making me barf. But I feel like I have no right to be cut any slack, even though I'm starting from a place where I have no energy, knifey head pain, and general barfiness. I wouldn't ever think that of anyone else in the same situation (like "Why aren't you washing the dishes/cleaning the bathtub/going to work/etc.?"), but I think it of myself. And I get that that's inconsistent and unkind to myself, but I still have a really hard time asserting my needs with other people. And with myself, I guess.
