I just found out that my next door neighbor just had major surgery. Half of me feels like I should do something, and half of me feels that at 8 1/2 months pregnant, maybe I get a pass this time.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

[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.

I'm more comfortable speaking to a stranger if it's a woman.
I try to find young men well into the "I'm old enough to be your mother, young man" range, because they're more likely to have automatic reactions built in. I wouldn't ask a man closer to my own age for fear of flirtation attempts--unless he's with his wife.

Oh, good lord, yes. Plus, it might make them feel even worse to have you doing something, a la "Oh, god, I must be dying, sj is coming over to check on me in her state."

By do something I meant either bake something or more likely buy something at the bakery and have TCG bring it over. We're going to the bakery tomorrow anyway.

Thrive to spite them
Since I haven't changed from snow tires in...uh awhile...I had my regular tires in the shed. So Will came by, took me to get the bad tire and switched the regular tire on the rim and then got it put back on and I'm on my way.
But it is fucking hot. 97F feels like 100. At least it's not that humid. No wonder I'm dying. Oh and all my bottled water (the tap water is gross) is in the car and has been so it's really hot at this point. Tonight I'll get it out and stick it in the fridge. I think okay for now.
Tomorrow it's supposed to rain and only be high of 84. So I'm staying inside.

It's miserably hot here today too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
vey hot today, which is why I had a migraine. Stayed home from work and sat still. Felt better this afternoon and took a quick trip out to get something for dinner. J is away at a car event, which means it will be just me and my new TV husband, Ross Poldark. So broody and noble, with the dreamiest eyes. [link]
I read all the novels back in high school and saw the previous version. I'm a longtime Poldark fangirl.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's been raining here tonight, which explains why my sinuses have felt like they were about to explode all day.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
All hail Queen Askye of Adulting, first of that name. Long may she reign.
I have offered to reach things in grocery stores for people. One time there was an older lady I sort of benevolently stalked from the produce department over to the organic dairy aisle because she mentioned her favorite brand of yogurt, which I knew had just been moved to a shelf she would have trouble reaching.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You are a very kind person (but we already knew that).
