Congrats on the house, sj.
{{{GC}}} I hope it's nothing.
I'm really tired of the bad news concerning people I care about.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thanks for the ~ma and reassurance. I'm sure it's all going to be fine - it's just nerve-wracking. I also have high cholesterol and need to wean the baby so I can start medication. Mama's getting old!

Also, near Worcester, I assume?
Yes. It's a little further away from the city than West Boylston but close enough that I can still do my errands in the city without it being a giant pain in the ass. We may have some sort of open house when we get settled in. Although it may be a "here's a margarita, want to help us unpack books?" style of party, depending on how quickly we get things done.

Plenty of nothing~ma to you, Glamcookie.
As I've said before, getting older means finding new ways your body can turn on you.

I remember that I used to wake up in the morning and NOT be sore. WTF, man? When did all my parts turn on me? All I did was SLEEP!

Lots of benign nodule~ma, GC.
I'm so bored at work, right now. This job is either feast or famine, but the feast is more like them shoving all the food down your throat and not just having too much to choose from. But for now, there's only so many spreadsheets I can update, so many binders I can purge, so many drawers I can reorganize. I'm actually getting bored with fanfic because I have so much time to play.

That's always a fine way to christen a new home.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Much benign~ma, GC.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nothing~ma, GC.
sj, I am so thrilled for you. And delighting in a modicum of schadenfreude about the shitty other sellers
So work stress came to a head and we had a talk to clear the air. The issues with this org are so big that it's hard to see what we can do at our level. And there are a few bad apples in key positions who make everyone's life unpleasant and way more stressful than necessary.
IDK. At least it's good to know that my crew aren't snapping at me because they think I'm incompetent, but because of much larger issues.
Speaking of bodies betraying us, has anyone remade "The Reflex" as "The Reflux?" if not, they should.

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, GC.
