I hope the dinner was wonderful, WindSparrow.
I have been with the family all day. I came over to the other FL coast early this morning and am still here. I really want to get home at a decent hour, but that is unlikely apparently.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
TCG's brother came over today. We had pizza and just hung out. ltc continued to not care what she stepped on as she ran about. So, she slipped on a book and gave herself a fat lip. There was a little blood and lots of tears.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
slipped on a book? that is such a Buffista injury. Glad it is not too bad.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor this week to get back on an antidepressant. I've waited too long, and I have to be honest that my life is kind of barely functional.
I worry about the side effects, especially weight gain, but then I've been so non-functional for months that I've been eating my feelings and not exercising anyway, which I think is a bigger problem.
So. Fingers crossed that I can find something that works. If I do, I might just make it through the holidays after all. (I'm still going to keep seeing my therapist, because I think it's helping even though right now it suuuuuuucks. It's just not enough.)

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.
I have my fingers crossed for you, Steph.
Poor ltc, I'm sorry that I am having a hard time not laughing about you getting a fat lip from a book.
Laura, that sounds like too much togetherness. I hope you get some rest.
I hope the dinner was wonderful, WindSparrow.
Thanks, it was. We were all sad, but the food was good, and we did the "do you remember when we...." thing. I managed to keep from crying until I was driving home.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just want to say how impressed I always am with you, Andi. You have such wisdom, common sense, empathy and a great depth of caring--which is obvious in what you post about work and the advice you give so many of us on here.

Scrappy, thank you. It's good to be reminded that the ugly thoughts that go through my mind, the moments when the baser instincts win, the regretable things I have said, those bits that are on constant replay in my conscience - they are not the sole definition of me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good luck, Steph. I hope it helps quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
WS, I echo what Scrappy said.
Steph, I hope you find something that works quickly. It's the right decision, but isn't it (not) funny how long we wait to go get help...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Scrappy is still wise.
Steph, I'm glad you recognize that you need more help and are taking steps to get it. I know it's not easy.
Continued love to you and yours, Laura.
