Fuck cancer. I just found out that the mom of a high school friend has Stage 4 breast cancer. This is her second bout of breast cancer and her third bout of cancer. She's not going to fight it.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Fuck cancer indeed, that's awful :( Really not a good time right now, is it?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, sj, that is beyond awful.
Do not have a light box - not sure it would help. I mean, I work outside all day long.
Am at shower. Took half a Xanax, feel somewhat better. Or I did, the anxiety seems to be creeping back now.
Steph, talking to the guy ahead of time seems like a good plan.

I have also wondered if my AD is crapping out, but it seems like such a terrible time of year to try and figure it out. Plus we have job stress with associated potential moving stress.
Ugh, Dana. I know what you mean. Part of me thinks I should just tough it out.

My niece giving Santa her best "I'm bored" look link.
It looks to me like she is totally shining on Santa. He's so de classe, after all. Total Hipster Hipswinger.
smonster, I'm so sorry to hear of your travails. What a massive downer.
As for SAD, being outside might not be enough in the wintertime, depending upon how much light you get directly and how light it is when you wake up. If you are dragging yourself out in the dark, it could still be a factor.
If it would help, I have a lightbox that I can ship to you. It works well, but is not particularly pretty. It was super spendy 11 years ago, but has not had use for a few years.
Since not having to get up early and living in an apartment with enormous windows on 3 sides, I don't seem to need it.
sj, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's mother's diagnosis. It's so hard.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You know, I honestly don't know the fucking point of us moving back this cold, desolate, full of shite people hellhole if no one bothers to come to Emeline's stuff.
NOT ONE family member of mine nor Joe's showed up for Em's performance in The Nutcracker tonight. Not a fucking one.

Damn, Aims. That suck. Is Em very upset?

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry, Aims. I would have loved to have seen her and applauded madly, and I know many in your Buffista family feel the same.

She was crying in the car on the way home. I stopped and got us sundaes and cookies which didn't help. She's better now, but Joe is furious.

Poor, Em.
I just received a nice thank you note from my nephew J's mom on Facebook. I know I'm being petty, but an actual call from J really would have made my day.
