More often, not a ton at a time, but one or two drinks after work definitely takes the edge off.
I have to agree with this.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My phone headset is busted so I have to use the handset, and this meeting is coming up on 2.5 hours. And I spent all that time with it on one side. Ouch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay new thread!

Gah! Stealth migraine jumped me at 6:30. I do not need to be light- and sound-sensitive just as this week's Glee airs!

I concur. Verrrrry helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which reminds me, I should go get ginger beer tomorrow. Or wine.

Oh brenda, I'm sorry life is so stressful right now.
Sara is indeed adorable. My little girl is miserable right now. She's been getting headaches of late, and one hit today. I gave her some ibuprofen and she's sleeping it off right now. I worry about her.
Also worrying about my cat right now, Burrell. She's been pukey of late and her urine has become strong smelling. This am I suddenly put 2 and 2 together and realized she's probably developing kidney failure. Eep. Not ready to let her go.
Which, hmm, didn't mean to start kvetching, sorry. Things are generally good right now, just I guess these two worries came to mind.

Because books.
She's been getting headaches of late, and one hit today.
Aw, that's hard when you're little. She's just Sara's age, right? Third grade?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry life is so stressful right now, brenda. The universe really should have spread those out so you only have to deal with one or a few at a time.

Glad Gracie is doing ok and you got extra info.
I'm wiped again. Got to work early, then had to leave to meet the furnace guy; system pronounced hale and hearty. I should get at least another 15-20 years out of the furnace part. Guy said the visit was unnecessary, but I pointed out earthquake and he did have some advice on the internal operating temp setting that was useful and should save some pennies. Then back to work, party for our Nobel Laureate. Then home to swim and 8 laps in, a kid barfed. Wait that out until 6:15, and just start over.
Then home.
BUT (and this may be helpful to Brenda): I've had a growing list of things I've needed to follow through on and it had gotten so daunting, I was procrastinating more. So I've just been picking out one or 2 to do every day. And the net result is that it lessens the guilt and angst and suddenly I am no longer avoiding ALL of the list. See about getting the ceiling fixed (hm, need to follow up on that,) take the car in for an oil change, turn in the contract on the gutter, get the furnace inspected. All that's left is make vet appointments. And suddenly, the list is gone and no longer taunting me.
