[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Somehow I have a w2 from BesT buy even though I did not work hthere or live in Vermont last year.

I also have some tax form from the state of Vermont. I have no idea what is going on.

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

Hil, I am planning to go tonight. I can't stay too long, because shockingly, children still have to do their homework in this new world, but I am planning on walking over from work at 5. Text me if you go.

I ended up sleeping late, which meant I had to work late to finish all the stuff I needed to get done.

What is even happening?

"Oh, *nice* man," said the acquaintance. "Very kind." Acquaintance thought a moment, then added, face alight at the memory, "BIG hands."

ltc only wants to play with books today. Forget eating or diapers. So now one of her books is covered with bananas because I don't have enough spoons.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Been there, ltc. Far too many of my books have tomato sauce stains for the same reason.

Thrive to spite them

Therapy is rough and there is not enough time. So many things to work out and I'm making progress. The current insurance will approve twice a week sessions so I'm going g to do that. I sent my therapist 4 emails this week and we didn't cover much.

It's stressful but in a good way even though it hurts.

He also wants me to step away from the news for awhile. I don't want to but I was just onfb and after reading something I almost threw the tablet across the room so I'm going to agree with him on that. At least until I see him next week.

Which feels weak and stupid butthisnis impeding my ability to make progress and I need to do that.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's not weak and stupid, askye. It's good self-care. It's great that you're taking care of yourself.

Yeah, I have been so antsy all week, and I decided seeing the same articles again and again (either because more people shared them or because I was scrolling through the same newsfeed 8 times) was not good for me right now. I want to see the fashion and baby posts but I need to just get my news from the news. So I am going to try to not be up on fB except for events and messenger. We will see how that goes and how I feel. Hoping it will help.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've put myself on restricted news - no TV news, radio only to get the weather and traffic, skim the newspapers, cautious about online news ... it's the only way I'm going to get through this.
