It's Fuck That Guided Meditation. I normally don't react well to guided meditation but this one is funny and (I guess) a parody of meditation but I think it's actually helpful.
When I'm not laughing.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.

Askye, I use it, too! I hate those things, but that one actually speaks to my inner voice and I find it really relaxing.

I hate the "put your thought on a cloud and watch it drift away" thing because I have lots of thoughts and putting them on clouds turns into Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory and I get stressed out.
I told one of the group leaders this and she was like "You don't think about the thought you just put it on the cloud" and I was like "Do you know how many things I think about in a minute? There was an excerise, let me find that and do it again for you."

We went to a garlic festival today. ltc slept the whole time. I fed her in public for the first time because we were too far from home to wait. And then TCG had to change her diaper in the car for the first time because the Dunkin Donuts we stopped at didn't have a changing table. I also bought her a super cute trick or treat bag decorated with recycled candy wrappers.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
sj, you have definitely earned several New Parent badges today! Sounds like a good day.
askye, I continue to be proud of the way you advocate for yourself and are proactive in finding what works for you. It takes a Herculean amount of effort.
Hi, my Bitches. Been reading along but quiet. Worked a lot this week which resulted in a screaming migraine so that my one night off is spent recovering from a muscle relaxant nap before going back to sleep. Tomorrow I have to do All The Things, including decide on a place to live. The best option in terms of layout and price and size has a location I don't really like and no yard, which means I'm going to have to walk Frankie every time he needs to go out. No more doing what I'm doing now, which is sitting in my pjs on the back porch while he does his business. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it, even though I doubt we'll find better and don't really have time to look. That is, if someone else hasn't grabbed it already.
Pretty down about it all and having trouble coming to terms with it. Blah.
I thought there was more but I guess not.

Ginger this made me think of you and your lab dramas (and those of some other Buddhists) (Thanks autocorrect--Buffistas, not Buddhists!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Argh. My computer has been on its last legs for a while, and I think it's now had it. It won't start up, and I tried all the suggestions I could find, and nothing worked. So, probably need to buy a new computer. Also sinuses hurt like hell, and ankle is starting to hurt, and I'm going to be paying off this credit card bill and paying back what I borrowed from my parents forever, and this is just not a good day.
