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.
( continues...) grudge like whoa.
Heh. I think Niecelet would say this about me. She's totally my favorite but she hears what I really think as well. Also I can be a bitch when I am cranky.
but I was so overwhelmed I didn't even know where to start.
Oh, that is so hard.
says the girl who still can't believe Beverly was kind enough to drive 1.5 hrs each way to do her dishes.
Bev is so that person.
Matilda has a new med, an amoxicillin suspension that's even gooier and gloppier, but (though still gross) is merely disgusting, rather than redolent of Satanic sphincter.
Is that still the same weird pink-flavored one? I didn't love it but I took it a lot for strep as a kid (and adult until tonsillectomy in my early twenties) and it wasn't fun but it wasn't hell either.
I am so tired. And sore. Moving packages need to come with physical therapy and drugs and house elves and ... taquitos.
and my "entertainment area" is tragic.
Ha. That was first unpacked here. Granted, I still haven't hooked up the receiver and speakers. But Airport with media drive plugged in, cable modem, DVR, TV were hooked up ASAP, since next morning Charter was coming by to hook me up. Plus. I'm TV junkie.
Well, APPARENTLY, reattaching the base of my tv wasn't as technically simple - while being physically awkward - as I thought. So I have a spinny tv. On the base but really not totally attached.
Possibly I also have shelving that was going to be the base of the new entertainment center that I bought the day after Thanksgiving. Still in boxes. I am just mostly hoping it was only last year and not the year before. Who knows. It was a good deal and I bought it and I still think it was a good idea. Just I've never opened the boxes.
But I want the tv on the wall, if I can. So it's just braced now. And the dvr that worked last night is borked today so it's not my most pressing matter. Mostly I want to sleep.
I did have cable / internet / phone hooked up my first day here but mostly that was lucky scheduling. I have two phones to return, my dvr that worked last night won't work today but the internet is all tubey and such so it's not the worst.
Puppycat has THREE bowls of water. At least two of which are accessible. She's drinking out of my glass. So clearly I need to get her another glass on the coffee table. That is going to suck to explain. I was thinking I'd avoid it. But she's dim and doesn't learn new tricks so easy. And hydration matters more in the desert.
Okay, sleep. Moving - where nothing is beautiful and everything hurts. Tomorrow, another room.
High point of my weekend: Touching and talking to Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) without being arrested. Him calling my cousin and me "lovelies".
Not getting arrested ROCKS!
Good night, Cass, and good luck tomorrow.
smonster - I'm proud and awed from your productivity.
Yay Strix for meeting deadline!
P-C - good to hear about The Meeting. And the blog thing is a smart idea. JZ, I'm glad to hear about a better med for Matilda.
It's nice that we care and keep track of each other.
Yes. It's also important.
Oh, I'm glad there's a better med for Matilda--that saga sounded utterly harrowing. I'd hug Matilda and mom if I were close enough.
P-C, I'm terrifically glad things went as well as they did. That's really awesome news.
I'm glad it was just Strix being work-buried and nothing more sinister. But I understand about the worry thing. I'm really good at that.
Laura, my sister in reading and lurking. Some days(weeks. months.) it's just hard to participate, for one reason or another.
Cass, you are such a star for getting all that accomplished.
And Zen, you and your sister are an awesome team. I'm glad she was able to come and make your place happen. I understand needing someone to point to one thing first, and then the next. The overwhelm, it is mighty.
Aims, jealous! Felton is a sweetheart, from all I've read.
I was glad to do it, smonster, I hope it helped. Bit too far to drive, now, though.
I'm sure there was more. Imagine yourself gently hugged, back-patted either in affection, commiseration, or encouragement, as you need it.
Wow, it's amazing how you can be motivated to do some chores when the condo is a decent temperature. Why didn't I turn the a/c on earlier? Oh right. I'm a penny pincher. With that, I got all the boxes and suitcases out of the bedroom, in preperation for construction people. Not sure when they will start, but thought it best to prepare for them while I had the gumption. Know what I realized when all the boxes and stuff were cleared. Damn I got a big bedroom! Sure, it's got a bed and 2 bookcases in it. not much. But that's the same furniture I had in the last bedroom, and it was cramped. Now, to fix the hole, finish the floor, and finish the painting, so I can move into it! Little things.
JZ, somehow, online, I met a Katherine Howard. She had a two-year-old and a parenting column and didn't understand in the slightest why her name was exciting to me.
Normally I wouldn't say this...but mebbe your mom should be drugged more?
My thought exactly. Does she drink tea? Maybe we could just start special ordering her tea with some cocktail of Ecstasy and muscle relaxants?
Last day in Pittsburgh before I fly back. Won't be back to SF until Tuesday morning though, so JZ gets to take Matilda to the dentist and (I hope) let the handyman in to deal with the rusted out pipe.
It's been a great trip with lots of easy, hanging out time with Chip and Alex tucked in and around the wedding. I always enjoy spending times with my close friends' children. I just need to have a sense of them as humans to know where my friends are too.
Chip and his new wife, Carole, were just so grateful that Alex and I came out. At the wedding interacting with his guests and at the Pirate's game yesterday It's been interesting to see how Chip has become an important person in his city.
He grew up affluent and went to an exclusive private school, and now he runs a foundation that supports public education (and all his kids went to public school), a liberal democrat in a very Republican neighborhood. And somebody so well known that we were guests in the PNC box at Pirates Game (at PNC Park) and the president of the Pirates leaned out over from the owners box to talk some biz with Chip during the game.
And his work extends beyond education, so that he's active with groups that support the arts, and save historic sites in the City and find public use for abandoned places. All the projects that a city like Pittsburgh needs. He's such a good person, and he's doing such good work.
I am T-Rex!
I want to make a t-shirt of just panel 5, because that is my life motto.
