Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

So it's 11:30 and I'm not at work. I'm falling down a shame and self-loathing spiral. I don't know how to reconcile "3.5 hrs late to work" with "not a bad person." I've struggled all my life to get out of bed in the morning, and it's getting worse instead of better. I didn't get drunk yesterday, took a 2 hr nap, and was in bed by 10 pm, so it's not like I partied too hard on Mardi Gras

*hugs* Not a bad person. Chronic pain + anxiety is more than enough of a reason for finding it not just difficult, but near-impossible to get up in the mornings.

FWIW, I'm taking two months out of my PhD at the moment for various dull reasons, and I share some of your frustration and feelings of being a rubbish person. But you are not.

Seska, you are most definitely not rubbish. I wish TCG and I could come visit you and your DW again. We had such a good time with you.

Aww, thanks, sj! We really enjoyed it too :) Come back anytime!

{{smonster}} I'm sorry. I do think that the cumulative effect of Mardi Gras does kick in, regardless of how much rest one might have had the night before.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks for the support, everyone. I return the empathy in kind for my fellow sufferers. Seska,'you are so not rubbish.

I went and got my charger, and am outside my coworker's house waiting for her to get here so we can work in her basement. So at least I'll get a few hours today. I was all excited to get produce, because she lives near the market I like, but walked out without a single method of payment. Oh well.

Nora, how are you feeling today?

Yesterday/the last few weeks was pretty overwhelming, though awesome. That is true. I guess I'm just doing my own version of repenting my sins and such.

Good lord, I am just double posting all over.

My fever's down, and I got in to see the doctor, who prescribed me stuff for the upper respiratory thing I've got going.

Feel better, Nora.

Can someone here please remind me to put TCG's Valentine's Day beer in the fridge tomorrow after he leaves for work so that it will be nice and chilled when he gets back from his meeting?
