'First Date'
[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.
DUDES!!! And those who don't wish to be identified as dudes!!!
I am subbing!! Not as a teacher, but as an instructional parapro/aide!! I started today in Emeline's classroom and will be "renewed" every two weeks until the position gets posted and then I apply for it and then I (hopefully!) get the permanent gig! Holy shit, ya'll. Ho. Lee. Shit. I'm working in a classroom!! An honest to goodness classroom! With kids!

I'm personally uncomfortable drawing a bright line between "healthy" and "sick." (And especially with the implied definition of "healthy" as "has unlimited energy to do anything all the time." Nobody's healthy by those standards.)
Aimee, that is AWESOME!
I am subbing!!
YAY!
Yay, Aimee!

I agree with you that no one has unlimited energy, but I really related to the beginning of the day stuff. I don't have lupus and I don't have to deal with all the same things that the writer deals with. However, I do feel like I have a million little things that I have to think about during the day that many other people don't have to deal with. One of the examples I use is that I would love to be able to run out of the house just once with one of those tiny fashionable purse and not have to check to check twice to make sure I have a list of things that I always need to have with me.
Yay, Aims!
I can't draw a bright line between healthy and spoon-metaphor, but there's a clear and distinct difference between the me of now and the me of five years ago. And there's getting tired (five years ago) and royally fucking myself over (me now), and it takes much less now to achieve the latter than it ever did to achieve the former. So I totally dig it, even though I have nothing as grave as lupus.
I think the nice thing about the spoon metaphor is that it includes the healthy. I mean, nobody in the entire universe has unlimited spoons. Except maybe Barack Obama.
What is he doing with all those spoons anyhow? I think maybe we need some congressional hears to look into this situation which, to coin a fair and balanced term, I'll call spoongate. You know who else used spoons? Hitler. Nobody's saying there's a link there, I just find it interesting.
wrod. Obama has his spoons and yours, too.
