[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.

askye, I'm glad you're not panicking, and thank you for checking in. You are not a burden.

There's a post on my Tumblr about in-patient psych stuff (someone asked me for advice, I asked the larger hive mind), and the responses have a lot of good info about what to expect, what you can bring with you, and so on. Do you want me to look it up for you?

askye, here is some of the info from the Tumblr folks on in-patient stays:

to anon (2/3 oops): pack a bag with your comfiest clothes. sweatpants, leggings, pjs, sweaters, etc. nothing with strings on it. bring shoes that dont have laces or slippers. (otherwise they’ll take your shoelaces.) they usually have washers so you dont have to bring too much. you can bring books and a stuffed animal and your own soap and shampoo. no perfume or makeup. no jewelry, leave it at home. if you have piercings they may make you take them out. some may not let you have some of the stuff.

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

askye, please don't stop checking in with us, we want to know how you're doing and you're never ever a burden.

Connie, if only there was something that could make it better. I'm sorry.

I barely slept at all last night. I've about had enough of this insomnia crap, Brain, cut it out.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

askye, I'm glad you're getting the help you need, and that you know how to find it. Please keep letting us know how you're doing.

I just had an interview that I think went really well. And it seems like a school where I'd be happy teaching. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one. And I've also got one more interview with another school on Wednesday.

All the best, askye. I'm so glad you're getting the help you need.

Guess who's iron is very very low again and needs to go for infusions for the next couple of week? Every once in a while I wish I could work a full time job and then I think how would I ever schedule all of my doctors appointments.

Sounds like you need a Lucky Iron Fish

Maybe we can come up with something....
