Listening to Lana del Rey makes me want to rat my hair and wear cateye eyeliner.
Inside pants are good. I'm in denim leggings, and they're comfy enough that I'm going to take a nap in them. And then be productive, I swears.

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.

Compassionately intolerant
Exactly. I mean, I totally realize that A) they were trying to be kind and 2) my emotional state is extremely fragile right now, but dear god. I do finally feel like I can breathe without having to force air into my lungs, but I still find myself crying several times a day on my own. I don't need any help with that.
ChiKat, I totally get this.
I received dozens of lovely cards when Bartleby died and know how tough it was to read them all. So, for a little bit, I opened them up and put them in a lovely basket. I'd say a quick, 'thank you' out loud and promise to get to them soon.
Then, on a day when I could breathe, I sat down with a box of tissues and read as many as I could in one go.
I was exhausted for a long time, which makes it even harder to take in other people's sentiments. They are so caring and kind, it is best to wait until you can feel that before coming out of your own shell. Or, at least that is what worked for me.
Some of those cards, I will keep forever. For now, they are still in that lovely basket, along with some of his toys and things.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj: EEEEEEEEE!

sj, AWESOME!!!!
GUYS, I painted!! We did -- Dan is doing the edging now, and we will need to add a second coat tomorrow. I will put pix up in a bit, but the pics don't do it justice -- it's a dark hallway.
But I LOOOVE the color! Love it! It's called Peacock Tail by Behr and it's a tealy-morocan blue hybrid, and it's so pretty, and will look great when I get my stuff hung up there. I have wedding gifts I asked for and got 2 years ago stillin the boxes because I was waiting to paint my ugly-ass hallway!!
I've never painted before. I'M MAD WITH PAINT POWER NOW!

Congratulations, sj! So excited for y'all.
Woo, Erin! PAINTING POWER.
I failed at napping, due to excess coffee at brunch. Now I'm up, have washed dishes and pulled out chili and rice to thaw, and am seated with a big Jack Skellington mug of peppermint tea to get productive. Maybe I'll do my nails as a reward later.
Shir, sorry about the fractious day. Hope tomorrow is better.
