Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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.

Thanks for doing it, sj.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For some reason I just got included on a mass email to an article that starts off with the following text:

YOUR 401(K) PLAN is arguably one of the most important tools you can use to prepare for a sound retirement. As long as you contribute the right amounts, smartly sift through the dozen or so funds at your fingertips and keep costs to a minimum, you can watch your money grow steadily until you're ready to leave the office behind.

And I just want to weep. So...I'm sharing, because who likes to bear misery alone?

The rest of the article is in a foreign language, FWIW. Which might explain the state of my 401(k) plan.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks for organizing, sj.

Xusa urped again. I'm going to try feeding her two smaller meals at night.

So tired, and it's only Monday.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So, I called my workplace today. I will be getting a bill for my portion of my health and disability insurance shortly, so it won't lapse while I'm laid up.

Wheee.

I coughed hard enough to dislocate a rib today. Twice. I have no idea how I'm going to get through teaching tomorrow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so do you have two dislocated ribs, or was it the same rib you popped back in?

I've dislocated this rib before. It's mostly just sore. But I can't take more than a very slow shallow breath without triggering another coughing fit. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow after work, but I'm trying to figure out how to manage teaching. I'm presenting new material, and because of the exam schedule, this really can't be put off for a day or two, and I've come up with some ways to minimize how much talking I'll need to do, but I can't avoid it altogether.
