Maybe I've always been here.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks everyone. I'm vacillating pretty rapidly between "WOO NMFP ANY MORE!" and "OMG SO HOSED FOR MONEY." I'm not announcing it on fb until tomorrow morning b/c S will tell the crew then. I told my parents, though, and StW, and my landlady, and some other people.
The ED stressed that it was purely financial, and nothing to do with performance. No severance, but at least I get my PTO paid out. I had an informal exit interview with the HR person, and talked to him about the Drama Llama and the other problem person. He had Thin Mints on his desk, so I asked if I could have one, and he gave me a whole sleeve. It was nice to have chocolate to hand. I will finish them shortly.
In a lovely coincidence, my dear friend C from Moldova, who married an American and lives in NC, asked me to call her. I did and she wanted to know if she and her husband could come visit over Easter! I said sure! I should have lots of free time. I haven't seen her in six years, so that will be nice. And I've never met her husband.

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
Each successive day that passes convinces me more and more that the best thing I ever did was stumble upon this place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Liese, I very much appreciate that. Lit candles are a good thing.
smonster, I'm sorry. I wish I had better words to say.

It's a crap situation smonster, but it's good to hear you taking it in such equanimity.

I'm glad I have an appointment for Penny tomorrow, she has a hard knot at the base of her incision. It wasn't there yesterday. I never found a small onesie. I looked at the smallest but it would have been too small. Now I'm having some anxiety the vet will think I'm a bad cat owner. Penny is already stressesd out from being cooped up she was running in circles. I don't know what she'll be like if I have to confine her to a smaller space.
