I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

[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.

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

My reaction to bandaids was absolutely horrible during fertility treatment. They still irritate me, but if I make sure to get latex free it's not too bad.

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

Yay, askye! Giddsome and smittful!

Once something sets off the itching, it spreads and my whole torso and both arms will itch for days. I can barely stand to have clothes touching me rn.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My Friday night is reading a really heavy book about how adverse childhood experiences actually affect our biology in adulthood, as in all sorts of chronic illness and such. (There has been a lot of recent research on this, so it's not just woo-woo stuff.) But it also apparently has a section on ways to address that and mitigate the damage, which is the real reason I'm reading.

Heavy stuff, though. I can only read a little bit at a time and then I have to process it. I wouldn't be able to be reading it at all if I weren't in therapy. It's hard to take in.

Do I know how to have fun on a Friday night, or what? (Okay, I also watched 2 episodes of Leverage. It wasn't all heavy reading about childhood trauma and how it will give you heart disease in adulthood.)

I bought that book too. Haven't managed to read it yet.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Would anyone be willing to review/help me with my resume and/or linkedin profile? I need a new job but haven't figured out yet where or who my target audience is...so that's helpful.

That sounds really interesting teppy--I had no idea there were ways to mitigate it, though I had seen some of the studies about epigenetics and stuff.

Steph, what's the title? I'm curious about that research.

Thrive to spite them

I'm curious about that too and want to tell my therapist.

Also work is bullshit. They are changing the way we do things because we are taking too long and not getting out truck as fast as the manager would. Someone who has done this for years vs people who have done this for a few months.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That sound fascinating, Teppy.

Coffee: askye, that sounds like some premium grade bullshit.
