[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.

Thrive to spite them

I hope the therapist works out.

Update on Grandma is she slept most of today. Which is good. Right now it looks like no more procedures she just has to heal but it also means if she's awake tomorrow she'll be confused. Someone has been with her 24 hours a day. From what I understand my Dad, his siblings and one uncles ex wife have been taking shifts. (my other uncle's wife is a nurse but I don't think she could get time off from work). They may also be trying to limit the number of people involved.

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

Fingers crossed for new therapist, sj. That would be ideal.

askye, glad your grandma's doing all right.

meara, dating is the most frustrating thing in the world.

My dang blood pressure has gone back up, after being fairly normal for months. My eating habits haven't gotten worse, maybe even a little better, so the only culprits I can find are either that I haven't gone to the gym in two weeks, and possibly the inordinate amount of stress I've been under at work in the same last two weeks. Alas, I don't have any more Valium, because my doctor thinks a person with sleep apnea shouldn't have relaxants because I might take them at night and DIE. I assured him I wasn't that dumb, he was unconvinced. So I don't have anything "industrial strength" to help me calm down when things get really stressful. Which is okay, I'll deal, but I would like to still have that tool in my toolbox.

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

I did too much walking today, and my ankle was swollen, and then I accidentally kicked myself right in the swollen part when I was taking my shoes off, and ow, and sleep is just not happening tonight. I'm trying to work out whether I can do enough class prep tomorrow at home, if I go to my office to make copies and film some online class videos over the weekend.

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.

Ow ow ow. I hope tomorrow sorts itself out, Hil.

Just took four Advil and two Tylenol. I hope I can sleep soon. I shouldn't have done all that walking today.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope you were able to get good restorative sleep, Hil.

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

Hil, I know the feeling. Feel better.

I have an appointment with the new therapist on the 30th. TCG's stepmother is going to babysit. I only told her I have an appointment.
