[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm sorry for your friend, Jars. But I'm glad she's getting help and that she has your support. I hope she's on the road to recovery soon.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have made an apple pie, but no time to bake it. I hope putting it in the fridge while I go to the laundromat will not be a bad thing.

Thanks. I really think she is. She knew enough to head in herself, and the Swedish docs know plenty about depression, and the best ways to treat it, so.

Thanks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jars, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and glad she checked herself in. I know what it feels like to be far away and feeling helpless in that situation, and it sucks. You are a good friend.

Anyone feel like giving me a wee pep talk? I've let so much slide, adjusting to this new job, and I'm feeling very overwhelmed, which leads to self-judgment, and then depression, and oh look I spent the day on the sofa and then napping, and haven't done fuckall. I need to get up, take a shower, gt dressed, feed the animals and myself, and then do some of the 50 million other urgent things on my list.

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.

Jars, I'm glad your friend is getting the help she needs, and I'm glad for her sake that she has a friend like you.

Darling smonster, one of the things you have let slide in this extremely stressful (even though it is a good stress of new job) time is getting all the rest you need. You are not slacking to take care of your health by resting. You need that rest. Proper rest is one of the most important ways that our bodies heal from stress. Please do not undo the good you have done for yourself in getting that rest, by allowing guilt to creep in. Yes, it is true that you have many things on your to-do list, and you may believe that their priorities are higher than rest. Your body knew you needed the rest, and so it acted for your good. Now that you have had some rest, you can re-evaluate whether you need more, or whether you now have the energy to begin ticking off items on your to-do list.

Windsparrow, you are so very remarkably kind. Really, sleep is the one thing I haven't neglected. Whether or not I needed today's nap is debatable, but I know I don't need more right now because I've been trying to get back that sweet oblivion for over an hour.

Okay. I am getting up, letting the dog out, and hopping in the shower. Will report back.

and haven't done fuckall

Yeah, so you know how it's the weekend? That means no such thing as fuckall! That means have a good rest, and don't stress, because the work week has enough stress to go around. But on the weekends, you aren't getting paid for it, so, try not to.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got nothing, smonster, but did you see that they're doing another adaptation of Foxfire? [link]

You can all send warm thoughts towards Gwinnett Subaru, whose people stayed late to get my mother's car fixed so she can leave tomorrow.

After that, smonster, we can prop each other up, since I haven't done fuckall except clean and dither for weeks.

It's all the non-work stuff I have to do, though I have work stuff as well. My rent check is late, and some other bills, and my place is a shithole, and my animals need their flea meds (Frankie needs a bath and a couple of days first), and the litter boxes need cleaning (hence the peeing on the dog bed) and and and...

Life. Tiring.
