Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

[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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ah, yes. I was misreading which was which. Sorry for anyone now clothed in a barrel.

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

Alas, it's the other way around, brenda. 500 silver buys 10 gold, 10 gold buys 250 silver. The way it's labeled is confusing!

oops, in too late. never mind.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thank you. I think it just hit me now and I started to cry as we were packing up to leave Mom's. I'm sad but also stressed out about having to go to a wake and funeral an hour away with a 7 month old and whether or not TCG will be able to take time out right after a vacation and then I'm feeling guilty about worrying about those things.

Our wings are not tired.

Be gentle with yourself, sj. If going is a burden, then don't. Parents of wee ones don't have to meet all family obligations. If you can, and it would be a comfort to you and/or the family, then by all means go. If it is going to stress you out then it will stress out ltc and everyone will be miserable. No Guilt!!

Punishingly Intricate

On the plus side, Brenda, cats would love a barrel. Sorry for your loss, sj. And, yes, listen to Laura and be kind to yourself.

Crap. Panic attack. Not good.

Ok, Hil, breathe. Are you somewhere safe?

Yeah. I'm at home, on my couch. It's not too bad yet, but I can feel it coming on. And I need to get to sleep soon, because I need to teach in the morning, but worrying about teaching and waking up on time is making things worse. But I can't fall asleep like this, either.

Hil, what has worked for you in the past? Staying up a bit later and watching Comedy Central or something may be better than trying to force sleep that will not come.
