I know we say it all the time (because it's true) but I am constantly reassured and proud of the support that Buffistas consistently offer.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
- Oh.
Right? I think I had known the origin of the term, but had forgotten it. I kinda hope I forget it again.

I'm pretty sure you're not that far north of me if memory serves, Pix. We could totally do dinner one evening--remind me once the furore wears down? I'm sort of running on fumes right now
Oh of course. I don’t in any way want to add to your stress, and I really do understand needing time away from the peoples.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scrappy, can you get him to email me at my profile address? My short list is really short. It could do with some expansion. Thank you so much.
If nothing else, I can be the person that tells my sister to go to sleep. She was making no sense last night.

ita, ND is sleeping in this morning, but he will respond once he’s up. He gets very excited about car shopping, even when he’s not the one doing the shopping. If Scrappy’s DH has other specific suggestion, ND can add them to the hunting list.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Huh. I had to look it up.
I always thought it referred to occupational therapy in mental wards--making baskets.
Don't think I'll be using it again, either. Although, when H bought his '42 Knucklehead Harley as a basket case, we literally brought home parts in boxes. Until he sold it, years later, still in boxes. And bought a boat. Which we used and enjoyed for years. Um.
No, still not using the term.

Support is often the hardest job, because you feel like you're not *doing* anything. You're not *fixing* anything. The truth is, you are affecting how others deal, you are *doing something*. A further truth is that it costs you something to be supportive when what you want to do is go fetal and have someone take care of you.
This place and you people were my salvation. I just hope each of us finds that sort of support here when it's needed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Marketed, shopped and just spent the past 2.5 hours doing yardwork. At least is is gorgeous out and now I'm all prepared for spending the rest of the fall raking leaves....
Think I'll go swim. And then start cleaning house. Uhg.
MUST call my dad today! It's his 70th. (We'll be actually celebrating it when he is out here in a couple weeks.)
