Ok, I was super bored and decided to see on OKCupid how much better or worse it would be if I dated guys. So I searched...and in the top ten were my ex-roommate and another guy I recognize. Really??? Really? Seattle is not THAT small a place I thought! I mean, I hardly know any males in Seattle, how is this possible? (there was a shockingly hot guy who said he's in the symphony, but mostly I want him to be gay and hang out with me and be pretty. Not date me.)
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

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.

I'll be off in a bit to the first business meeting for a big project that I've had since this all started. Perhaps I could use some "you can do it" ~ma from the inexhaustible store.
You could take a lot of the curse off the fireplace, omnis, by painting those two short walls a different color and putting a chunky shelf like an Ikea Lack across the whole wall above the fireplace and something like a tall dried arrangement, also easily available at Ikea, on the tile to the left of the fireplace. That would be a fairly inexpensive way to make it a feature instead of a bug.
(Okay, I'll admit it. I love decorating other people's houses. If I'm driving you crazy, please stop me.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You can do it, Ginger!! Go go go!!

Steph ( or whoever, really) Question: I *finally* got to see a shrink and *finally* got meds. I even ballsed up enough to say, "I also need some Ativan because as I get older, it gets harder for me to deal with crowds - even those consisting of people I know and love. Please give it to me!"
Anyway ... the orders on the Lamictal say to take it with dinner. But ... I forget. I forgot yesterday. Can I take it with breakfast instead?

Okay, when I find my new place, I'm going to create a website, just for Ginger and other interested buffistas to do what they want. I am hopeless.
Ginger,
you can totally do this. You have the power of the buffista verse behind you. You can do anything with that.

Ginger, You will totally rock at the Big Project! You have tons of invisible people on your side. It's almost better than house elves! Almost.
(Okay, I'll admit it. I love decorating other people's houses. If I'm driving you crazy, please stop me.)I'm happy for ideas. As long as you are not offended if I don't do them.
In a couple hours, I'm getting another walk through. Will take LOTS of measurements. And since the place is empty, get a chance to poke into cabinets and stuff. And hopefully, finally see the garage.
Also, it looks like my awesome view will have a great vantage point to see at least 3, and possibly 5 fireworks shows on the 4th! Odds are, won't hear the booms, but should see lots of pretty colors! Being a non-party hoster... how does one have a party with no furniture? It looks like closing will be the day before F2F starts. So, not much time to do anything before the 4th. But it seems like perfect time to host a party. Who cares if drinks are spilled on the carpet!

except we are not abused - except by perfectionism, high expectations, and self-doubt!

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.

I believe at this point you should hold off until tonight. You do not want to completely change the time you take it and you don't want to take the dosages too close together. ETA this is based on memories of instructions following errors in administering this medication on the job. The rule of thumb with this one is if you catch the missed dosage when it is closer to the next time it should be taken, skip it. If realized earlier, then take it.

Ginger, my wish for you is that you only see the visual of this at moments you need a brain full of absurdity. Also, you CAN do this. Getting-through-it-with-flying-colors~ma for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Go, Ginger, go!
Yesterday I opted to stay an extra hour at work when I could have fucked off early due to rain, and then ran a bunch of errands. And I made homemade chocolate syrup last night for my ice cream, which was super easy and pretty tasty! I may up the cocoa content next time.
Today I decided not to work this morning (Fridays are optional, we work four ten-hr days) and I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. I need to go get my brake tag, but I still could have worked. The plan is to do some budgety and house stuff before taking Xusha to the vet.
