Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So...anyone want to take bets on when I get the Easter music out of my head?

Listen to something pagan. A little Apotheosis O Fortuna or something.

Because books.

He only saw me ten minutes every three months, but at least he refilled my scripts without arguing about the Valium. It's discouraging.

When I was seeing one last year, it was the same thing -- we'd talk for maybe ten minutes, he'd make notes and give me a new prescription, and that was it.

I wound up asking my GP to prescribe them instead, with the understanding that a psychiatrist had figured out the right combination of things, and she was okay with it. It might be worth a try?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm thinking that might be easier. I don't have a GP right now, but I have an appt later this month with a new guy, so maybe he'll be amenable to it. I'm not taking proper ADs anymore, just Deplin (methylfolate - it's just a vitamin) and Valium, but some doctors get antsy about prescribing Valium on an ongoing basis.

I have "Up From The Grave He Arose" in my head

That's a hard one to sing, but immensely fun. I love old hymns. "Master, The Tempest is Raging" is also terrific.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In a classic twist, I read that post right after listening to Prince's new version of "Let's Go Crazy," and now it's right back to "He Arose!" I do not know "Master, The Tempest is Raging," but it sounds like a good one.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

How can you get good psychiatric care when you're not seeing the same person all the time? As soon as you develop a relationship with someone and feel like they know you, they move on. That's ridiculous.

This is something that Tom's been dealing with for years. It's super frustrating. Hopefully we've got a potential permanent person now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Vortex and flea!

I'm currently at the 6 hours/pay period annual leave level at work.(Sick leave is at 4 hours/pay period for everyone) I'm a federal employee, so no change in salary for a while.(Not that I can negotiate salary at all)

The status is NOT quo.

Congrats Vortex! Yay flea!

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

Congratulations flea!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just (like, on my lunch break a couple of hours ago)applied for a couple of permanent positions where I am temping. I doubt I will be negotiating for anything at this point, but I feel pretty good about my chances of getting an offer on one of them, at least.

Hope you can work something out for your leave, flea. Congrats on the offer, even if it is low.

I'm starting inquiries about a Harp loan. I may not have informed the mortgage holder of H's death yet. I hope that doesn't make for big problems.
