[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.
~ma for your sister, Calli.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Thanks, y'all. The ~ma is strong! It was totally an innocuous thing that just looked much scarier. The hospital has released my sister minus a few vials of blood.

Thrive to spite them
I postponed my therapy appointment. I just want to sleep in. I still feel like crap but it's less to do with being sick and more to do with anxiety and barely repressed..feelings. For a few weeks now there have been feelings swirling really close to the surface and I wasn't able to talk about it last week.
I almost broke down a few times at work. My next therapy appointment no matter what I'm bringing it up. The compartmentalizing is wearing on me. It's a different type , this is more I've acknowledged it and I'm waiting until a safe place and time rather than compartmentalizing to avoid.
But it has to do with taking medicine and so it's not making the current anxiety easier.
I'm using this to let off a bit of pressure until I can really let go.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's what we're here for, Askye.

I'm glad you are letting off some of the pressure here, askye. You deserve a safe space in order to manage your anxiety.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay for nothing serious, Calli's sister!
We have more info on Arthur. Apparently bone marrow problems are a recognized side effect of one of his immune suppressants. So the dosage has been halved, and I think the idea is to wean him off that suppressant in time. Hubs and Arthur are also going to GA next week so Arthur can get a super-dose of stem cells. (I have to work, so I'm staying home.)
Also, it seems that feline bone marrow transplants are a thing. We're looking for a place that still does them. (Developed at U of Florida, and done for a while at NC State U, but not done at either place now.)
