Yes yes! What Steph and Laura said. You are an amazing woman, Maria.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've got tears in my eyes. So very glad that I have a legion of Bitches surrounding me.

The status is NOT quo.
But Maria, even though your life is emphatically not what you expected, you aren't just stubbornly pointing backwards and saying "Well, I guess NOW the rest of my life will suck." You're saying, "Okay, let's see what's next." And the choice to do that is tremendous.
This, this, a thousand times this.

Had to take my Mom to the Emergency room (a capillary burst in her mouth where she had a tooth extracted and it took the emergency room to stop the bleeding). I have to take her to a follow up appointment and then make a lecture. I got no sleep last night but could probably fit a half hour nap in. Question: grab the half hour nap or in your experience is a half hour nap while sleep deprived worse than nothing in bring on the gronk?

My experience is that the half hour is better spent taking a shower and knocking back coffee.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
My cousin and his girlfriend just found out the sex of the baby: it's a boy. I am so excited for them, but I'm also a bit sad that I will probably never experience that.

Dang Typo. Sounds like your mother is okay, but probably worn out because of the experience. Yikes.
