Much ~ma, Anne. I hope things improve for you.
Shir, heh - that makes today seem a bit less awful. It'll be lovely to see you tomorrow, at least!

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
For all Virgos and other declutterer types, Better Homes & Gardens has a pretty doable month-by-month decluttering guide for 2012: [link]

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thanks, all. I think I'm dealing with a perfect storm of peri menopausal brain chemistry plus some big job changes and a series of recent re-emergence events that have triggered some not so healthy thinking about my own life and what I have(n't) done with it

Erin,
I am a Virgo, love to declutter when I have fucking time! Thanks for the link. Hopefully I will pay attention to it.

re: sitting shiva
I read a really funny (like I was laughing out loud the whole time I read it), but really gross, definitely rated "R" book that had this as a feature. This is where I leave you
It is wildly inappropriate and the shiva was seven days.

Le N, I didn't know you were a fella Virgo! WOOT!
Course, I am on the cusp of Leo/Virgo (8/23) so I am a clean, detail-oriented freak with pretty hair and a vivacious charm.
According to Astrology.com, which is a PERFECTLY CROMULENT PSEUDOSCIENCE, RIGHT?
Le sigh. Back to le cleaning. Pre-NYE, but hey, it also means I start the new year off with a clean house, so...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lots of ~ma for you, Anne. This time of year steals so much of whatever coping mechanisms we have.

bonny, you are still in my thoughts.
Aims, I love that picture of you and your sister - and I'm glad your meeting with her went so well.

God, so true.
A year ago, the daughter of one of my neighbors died in a horrible fire with seven other young people. It's been a hard year for this group of friends, who were close to both mother and daughter. Here's a story about the fire and the community: [link] (My friend's name is Rebecca S. and her daughter's name is Melissa M.)

Thrive to spite them
I found out that I'm going to be a regular part time employee! I asked and I should get about 8-12 hrs per week, with the chance to pick up more.
I've already picked up 10 extra hours this week. It's not huge money or anything but it's good to be working and the store manager told me "we really like you!" which was nice to hear.
Then I went and splurged on a small space heater and some thick, cheap fleece throws to cover windows and what not.
