You can do it, Smonster!!!!!!!!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

smonster, I'm sorry about the panic attack.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Keep calm and INSERT MEME HERE, smonster!

C'mon, smonster! Go you!
I was just about ready to go upstairs and do some work, and then the cat curled up all nice on my lap. Darn you, cat!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I... am still at home. I'm in a lot of pain again, which is amping up the anxiety, and I took a half a flexeril but it's done no good. I've been doing stretching and acupressure since I last posted.
I need a do-over for today. Since I can't get that, I guess I'll take 1/4 Xanax and hope it doesn't knock me out.

Our wings are not tired.
Go smonster! eta: I'm sorry about the pain. Snuggles and hair pats.
Hey Sunil, I told DH about you coming to Miami to go cruisin' and he of course asked me when. And I had no answer. Forgive me for discussing your parental issues with him, but his college roommate had precisely the same issues and he is most sympathetic.
The good, the bad, and the ugly. The movie was in the closest of 18 screens so not a lot of walking and we were all there on time. Silly 90% of the audience left during the credits. Driving back to my house with friend I passed my son in the bowling alley parking lot - smoking! This is a huge issue with me because I spent way to many hours holding a nebulizer to his face when he was a toddler after each and every time he was exposed to cigarette smoke. The doctor said this would be a lifelong issue with asthma a real possibility. I texted him letting him know what an awesome Mother's Day present that was. No, I do not feel bad about that at all.
Avengers was indeed awesomecakes and L and I had mimosas when I got home. The rest of the day involves relaxing, maybe catching up with some DVR queue items.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's just not Mother's Day without your mom telling you how much happier you would be if she were eaten by a lion because then she would stop bugging you all the time.
A *lion.* That's colorful, mom!P-C. Damn colorful.

Smonster, do what you need to take care of yourself! Hang in there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's just not Mother's Day without your mom telling you how much happier you would be if she were eaten by a lion because then she would stop bugging you all the time.
She could just, I dunno, stop bugging you. Does a large predator really need to be involved? ...oh, never mind.

Laura, glad you liked the movie! Sorry about the bummer glimpse of your son smoking.
Thanks, y'all. The Xanax worked, but not exactly how I wanted - I've stopped freaking out, but didn't get anything else done. I did talk to my boss on the phone, but did not fess up to my slacking. I will have some time tomorrow to keep working on that project, but blecch.
And now I have the sleepies, and shall retire -stayed up late finishing a book last night.
