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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Insent, Laura and smonster.

And thanks.I'm trying (and it's succeeding, in increments) to get the angry out about this particular clusterfuck and to gain some zen about it. But it's HARD.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Strix, you can e-mail me too, if you want another ear.

t edit I have a meeting in 2 minutes, so I won't be back for about an hour, but I'll check my e-mail when I get back.

I'll drop you a line in a bit, Steph. I have to eat something with my steroids, pop in some laundry and start straightening my office.

I'm getting to the point where thinking about working again doesn't make me hyperventilate.

ION, it was supposed to be sunny today! I was going to go for a short walk and get some anti-depression sun. DAMMIT. (And no, I absolutely can't afford a light box. I'm still paying off my hysterectomy, arm and gall bladder.)

And thanks for the support, all. I cannot express how helpful it is to vent. I would like to leech this poison out before too long.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay sun! The universe at least owes you some decent weather.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Strix, feel free to email too if you want but I would like to offer some suggestions about the other stuff.

Can you doctor give you samples of the cream? It may already be too late since you are on steroids and need to taper them off but I am surprised the doc didn't have samples lying around.

BTW, if you need a nap even 30 min helps especially if you nap before like 4 pm

Trust my rage

I have nothing particularly special to say but Strix, I'm sorry you are dealing with all this. I'm sending peaceful vibes your way.

It was raining hard at my house this morning so I left early but it's not raining (yet) in Denver so I'm 30 minutes early with no key to get in the office. Thankfully the wifi works so I'm enjoying a quiet few minutes to myself.

beth, that's a good thought, but the more I talk about it, the more the poison leeches out, and the better a perspective I gain. I don't want to go around feeling angry at D and the two weeks I didn't talk about it -- I was so angry I couldn't -- I just downward spiralled into a really black-dog kennel.

Laura, when I got up today, the weather channel said SUNNY all morning and afternoon! And then at 7, it's like WHOOPS! Overcast and thundershowers later. Still going to take a walk, and do some light yoga, but MY THERAPY PLAN NEEDS SUN, DAMMIT!

I asked about a sample, le nub, but the doc didn't have it, and neither did the first pharmacy I went to. And since it's $40 with my health insurance and we have $55 till the 15th, oh, well. But it's clearing up,; hardly itches any more. I REALLY think whatever it is (waiting for cultures) it was exacerbated by stress. HUGE stress.
