Dana, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Peace to you and your family (and yes, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor).
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

Anti-anxiety~ma, Dana.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I know you likely know this, Dana, but upping your ADs will generally take a couple of weeks to take effect. If you need immediate short term anxiety/coping~fu, a visit to the doc is likely in order.
I just dropped my sister at the airport. She started crying as we said goodbye, and I almost started crying, too. Now that my mental shit is more or less in order, I am determined to support her goal of moving out of my parents' house by her birthday in August. I'd love to have her down here, but I'm not sure that's right for her. Step one is definitely get out of parents' house and get a better job.
After dropping her I came straight to the laundromat. I loved having her visit, but have a lot I wanted to accomplish over the break, and I go back to work tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Dana. Condolences to you and your family.

Parent fail. Apparently school is in session today in Broward County. All the surrounding counties had the good sense to know it was a holiday, but not my county. Ooops, my kid is home because I didn't know. DH went to his HS figuring there was basketball practice since there was no school and found they were in session. The principal told him that half the staff and students didn't show up. At least I am not alone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Laura, we presumed today was a school day until Matilda assured us that no, she didn't go back to school until Tuesday. Matilda was correct.

If Bobby knew differently he didn't speak up, which understandable. Apparently Broward decided to give them the whole week for Thanksgiving, and make up a day this week. Oh well, I haven't even received email notification from any class of his absence and normally I get them instantly at the start of each period when he is out, so they must have minimal attendance.

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.
Dana, I'm sorry for your loss. Wishing peace and comfort for all who love your grandmother.
Oreos have a soothing effect. Especially if you do the twist and dunk, if that's your Oreo thing.
I have found that in trying times, putting Oreos in a bowl, pouring milk over them, and eating them with a spoon to be efficacious.
Parent fail. Apparently school is in session today in Broward County.... The principal told him that half the staff and students didn't show up.
If half the STAFF didn't show up, I'm thinking it's not so much "parent fail" as "Communication Fail".

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, that seems like a big communication fail on the part of the school district.

I'm surprised I didn't get an email or robo call from the principal because I get bunches of them regularly on far less important issues. Then again, I could have checked the calendar which shows today as a school day. I just hate wasting an absence day in case we need it later. Oh well.
