Interview ~ma, sumi.
Leg ~ma, Daniel. I hope for the best possible outcome.
sj, I'm sorry you have to deal with that from family.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Leg~ma, interview~ma, wake up to reality~ma to clueless relatives.
Sigh. I just want to turn up the heat a notch, wrap you all in sweaters and scarves and blankets, and feed you soup, so you recognize how precious you are. This is screwing seriously with my career as a curmudgeon.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
To be clear, it wasn't directly aimed at me, but it was a post meant to shame mothers for using cellphones while feeding their babies. I'm just sick of all the mom shaming.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Shit, women speak on the UN floor while breastfeeding. Baby is busy and happy. Moms can take a second to engage the outside world.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sj, it might as well have been. You're a mom. A mom who derives a lot from your online interactions. So while it is generally mom shaming, it's very much relevant to you. Please don't think you have to explain it away.
(Sorry, my indig-no meter has been broken by the last few days.)

OK, Constance, you need to eat, there's hours left in the day, your brain will only get more unhappy if you keep putting off getting food. Even the Puritans in your head need to eat.

I've been terrible about eating breakfast and even lunch over the past 2 weeks or so, which I recognize is a big depression symptom for me. But I made and ate my normal oatmeal-y breakfast today and had a big salad and then a tuna salad sandwich for lunch.
To sum up: eat the food! Join me!

Thanks, Maria.
I've been eating but only what I can grab with minimal effort.

sj, I hope you get your equilibrium back, soon. Those kind of FB interactions always leave me shaking afterwards. Ugh.
