I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I really wonder how much my chronic pain plays into my anxiety and my difficulty in getting up (because I toss and turn and don't sleep very well).

Might be time to invest in a better bed. Makes a huge difference in how you sleep especially with your achey body parts.

While investing in a better bed is an excellent but expensive option, a lower price/more attainable option may be to get a foam mattress topper of some sort.

Agreed! My memory foam topper helps my back a fair bit.

Yes, any change of bedding that accommodates smonster's poor hips better would help.

Always Anti-fascist!

How can anyone have a conversation about being a worthless loser and not have some kind of Pathetic Signal light up my local sky? After all, I am a blogger who lives with her mother, pretty much the foundation of current loserdom as we know it, complete with three unfinished "first novels". Rubbish? Meet the mayor. And I'm also heading for sixteenth consecutive Valentine's without a Valentine.

I also can't believe I just tried to win a loser contest. Maybe the local culture is affecting me after all.

You're no loser, erika, trust me.

Yeah. I've definitely found that pretty much anything that will make the sleeping surface softer will help.

erika, you are awesome; I'm sorry you don't feel that way.
