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.
Maybe it's for your hip, smonster, or Nora's sad.
Guys, I am going to have to break into my piggy bank (well, owl bank, for realz; I have 2) and buy a truly medically necessary massage. Sleeping weird with the cast and then brace on my arm for 2 months, and then the weird typing position...my nexk, shoulders and upper back are fucked, no matter how much I try to do gentle stretches.
ION, I edited for 8 hours today AND make my first fettuccine alfredo from scratch. It was NOM!!!
I'm sorry you need a massage so badly but glad you're getting one, Strix.
It was a drug OD. Took all this time to get her stable enough to put in an ambulance. They couldn't get a pulse.
Nora! You ok over there? I hope DS9 helped. Cisco is such a cool cucumber. And Dax... hubba hubba. Both of them! Hopefully it was a good episode or two that helped you out.
Yes, watched the last two eps of Season 1 and the first 3 eps of Season 2. Good stuff!
Went to bed, woke up, and got to work. So, you know, good start.
Right. Sorted out a repayment plan for our guvmint debt. It'll take about 18 months. I don't think they charge interest, so that's all very reasonable.
In more enjoyable news, apparently the duck eggs being incubated at Ryan's childcare may be about to hatch. I hope it all goes smoothly. Ryan's looking forward to petting baby ducks.
{{all the hurtin' Bitches}} My right shoulder aches in sympathy (and for reals). I've got a foam roller and last night seemed to finally work the worst kink out of my back that seemed to be causing the problem, but damn, three weeks of twinging nerves and popping vertebra really takes it out of you. Just in time for my PT appointment tomorrow. Yays?
Strix, are you covered by insurance? It seems to me that PT should be part of the package, if you're having problems after the surgery.
Sail, i hope you get some relief soon!
omnis, any news on the hole in the floor?
Ok. I'm officially tired of dripping, pouring, cascading sweat all day. I don't want to be cold, I just want to be slightly less soggy.
I'm working by myself today and maybe all week. This is really not my preferred mode. I do so much better with a colleague. E can't get back from Vermont soon enough!
Also, I feel like I'm working in Patrick Bateman's apt. Okay, not that rich or creepy, and definitely not that OCD, but a slightly unsettling mix of expensive electronics, gun magazines, a hunting knife on the counter, a hatchet in a sheath hanging off of the dresser. Probably just some country kids who grew up to be investment bankers, but if I find a chainsaw in the laundry room I'm OUT.

Yeah, July in New Orleans has to be some kind of mega muggy.
I remember doing construction work in South Florida in the summer and having sheets of sweat flying off my arms with every throw of the shovel.
omnis, any news on the hole in the floor?
No news yet. But since construction guy said its ok to move, just be prepared for a week of not using that room once they get started. So, packing. Mom and her man friend are coming over this morning. He has a big van. So, he's going to take the first round or two of stuff. Which should make it easier to see what isn't packed yet. Been up since 7:30 or so packing stuff, and starting queues for them to grab stuff to bring to new place.

Would something like this be helpful?

I've seen things like this at home depot out here.
Currently 91 with 61% humidity.
I love my job and my boss and everything, but I'll admit to whimpering when a colleague forwarded me a job description that I'm fairly well qualified for that pays 45K with health/dental/vision and three weeks vacation. I'd probably hate the job, though, even if I could get it. Lots of spreadsheets and technical building stuff. No hands on.
Just gotta figure out how to make my boss more money so he can pay me more money. Right now these projects are barely breaking even, which is why I need to spend extra time figuring out pricing standards.
Sorry, been needing to brain dump. And while I'm at it, I hung out last night with a new friend who's an intern where StW works. And we ended up hanging in his hood, going places we went. I know I need to reboot my associations with those places, but the night brought home that 1) I still miss him and am not ready to see him and 2) I miss listening to someone geek out about medical stuff.
Thankfully, we didn't run into him. She seems pretty cool, though, so we're going to hang again.
