It's funny how hard it is for the heart to catch up to what your head knows is right. Be kind with yourself, smonster.

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.

And if you think that you won't handle it well, just cancel and drop the stuff off at his house when he's not home. It's about what's best for you, not making him feel comfortable.
This is my bottom line. Take care of you. Drop his shit off if you need to. Though if he hasn't needed it for 3 months...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've booked the December cruise for the family Tea. Biyi's parents were concerned about the size of the ship (because of her father's motion sickness) and sought confirmation that it weighs more than 10 tons. It weighs 77,000 tons. I like to think they find that reassuring. (I have my own reactions, but then I didn't need reassurance in the first place.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It is what it is.
RIGHT. I knew there was an obvious one I couldn't bring to mind. That will do nicely. Duh, it's what I returned to again and again with B.
It's funny how hard it is for the heart to catch up to what your head knows is right.
So freaking true.
Smonster, it's like the guy I was sort of dating who told me that he wanted someone to go with him on a spiritual journey, and he didn't think I was ready for that, so we decided to be friends. And then he turned around and started dating a 23 year old.
OMG! I remember the first half of that story, but I don't think you gave me the update! Wowza.
I'm going to go through with it and see him. It will most likely be absolutely fine. Thank you all, your support and wisdom is muchly appreciated.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My first world problem of the day is that my DVR rebooted this morning when I tried to hit play on last night's Daily Show and it erased all the shows I had saved as well as all the scheduled recordings, season passes, etc.

Good luck, smonster! You have received wise words here.
What a colossal pain in the ass, sj.
I am home sick and feeling mighty sorry for myself. WAH!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am feeling TOTALLY STRESSED right now as well. Things are insanely busy at work, which I am trying madly to manage, since I am flying home to be with my mom when she gets the result of her biopsy. She called yesterday to make an appointment, and they scheduled it for today, so yesterday was all about a mad scramble to get the soonest flight out. I am taking a red-eye on Thursday and flying into Baltimore and driving the 90 minutes to her house when I get there in the morning. It makes me tired just to think about it.
Oh, and someone sideswiped my new car during the night and left two big scratches and dents in the passenger door.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
{{smonster}} May it be as painless as possible.

Oh, Scrappy! Yay for being with your mom, but boo on jackass hit and run drivers.

Oh, Scrappy, I hope things are as easy as possible for you too! And lots of best wishes for your mom.
