Whoa! Congratulations, Juliana! Pictures?
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats, Juliana!
And there are songs I'm probably never going to listen to again.
20 years, and I haven't listened to It's So Hard To Say Goodbye (I have difficulty typing the title and keeping my composure) outside of two funerals. I'll leave the room, talk madly, mutter to myself, shoot the radio, whatever it takes to get away from that song.
It's the only song I own on CD that's not on any of my iTunes installs. My completist streak is not masochistic.

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'm consumed with the sense that I am utterly alone now. I don't have my partner. And I hate it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's a whole genre of music I can't listen to anymore. Siouxsie and the Banshees comes on the radio, I still have to turn it off.

Nothing can replace him, Maria, but use us as you need to.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Maria}}} It's so hard. I liken it to being half of a team of oxen and now you have to pull alone so you keep turning in circles, if you move at all.
I don't want to tell you it gets better or easier because that doesn't seem accurate to my experience, but you get better at coping with it and the challenges change.
I'm just starting to listen to music again, within the last couple of months. And it's still weird. And it was only when I started actually enjoying comedies again that I realized I hadn't for a long time.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
le nubian, I met with the gastroenterologist this afternoon, and I have an appointment for the colonoscopy and a scope of my esophagus and stomach. ("We'll do it at the same time," he says, then he sees that I'm visualizing this. "On the same day, I mean. Not the exact same time.")
The first available appointment is at the end of April, though. My nerves will be shot by then. I can keep calling them to see if there's a cancellation, but that's awkward because I then have to find someone to drive me there by 6:30 a.m. and hang around until 10 or so. I'm going to e-mail my doctors to see if they think it's important for me to do it earlier. There's also going to be a co-pay I can't afford for the one test. The GI guy did nothing to make me more cheerful by asserting that my results don't look like GI bleeding to him. I want GI bleeding, damn it.
Maria, I know the most unlikely things will keep ripping the scab off, but it does get better. I bet I can come up with an Americana/folk playlist that you've never heard.

Oy, Ginger, that's an awfully long time to wait.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh horrors, nothing like having your scopys meet in the middle. All possible best scenario for you, Ginger, and telescoping time, if no earlier appointment is possible.

I did lipstick instead and I'm heading out the door for vocal lessons and I feel all PAINTED HOOR!
Clearly you are a LUSTFUL FORNICATOR not fit to teach CHRISTIAN CHILDREN. Or, you look just fine, silly lady. I get it though--I rarely wear foundation, so half the time I put it on I feel weird and cakey (even if it looks fine) and end up wiping half of it off before I even leave the house.
Maria, I wish I had magic words to help, but it seems others have been giving good advice. I'm sorry you have to work at this time, and know we're all here for you.
But also, dude? You can totally make it all about you for a while. We're all good with that. And you're not anyway, but you can.
Or, what Liese said.
