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.

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.

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

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.

Strix, I'm late to the party, but if you want another ear, I'm here.

Also, Prednisone is one fantastic but fucked up drug. It is very effective for what it does, but for me, it also dials my emotions up to 11. PMS on crack is how I usually describe it. Which certainly doesn't help when there are other stressors.

Even without sunshine, being outside is good for your soul. Work has been crazy for me lately and when I'm about to throw my computer, I try to remember to get up, walk outside for a few and then get back to it.

I'm going to go for a walk about 1 or 2, when it's a mite warmer. I'm going to have to start easy, since my Black Dog for the last 6 months has really taken my endurance and muscle tone away.

I haven't noticed anything on the 'sone, but I also just amped my AD, so I feel speedy yet tired. I'll totally take that over the itching and pain; I cut my fingernails to the quick Friday so I would, yanno, NOT scratch my goolie and neck bloody! The rash feels MUCH better, and it's drying and not spreading any more.

Would someone please come to my house with a cleaning crew, a hot tub and a masseuse? That would be fantastic! C'mon...!

Strix, I'm sorry you're continuing to have to deal with so much. I'm around for the next several hours if you want someone else to e-mail.

Gronk. I didn't sleep well last night, and no house elves showed up to make my tea this morning.

Have I mentioned lately y'all be da bomb? Because you are!

sj, I am going to process stuff, and clean for a while, but I may write later.

And I will happily be your tea elf if you will fold my laundry and put it away!

I'd be happy to! Also, could you call my therapist and tell her I'm not coming back?

Seriously? Yes. I have NO problem doing that.

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

Steroids (last time I was on it) I don't think did anything with my emotions, but I was up at all hours of the day and night CLEANING my house.

On second thought, maybe I need some steroids...

No. I really should do it myself, but I'm once again avoiding confrontation at all costs.
