Suzi & Steph, feel better.
Buffistas the next generation are really darn cute together fwiw. vw and Stitch just left, and ltc is napping.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

[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.

I took a "nap" for a couple of hours. I didn't fully drop off to sleep, I think I was afraid of nightmares, but it felt restful anyway. I listened to a few chapters of Harry Potter and Jim Dale's voice is very calming.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I walked 2 miles despite the migraine and period. If the 5K weren't less than 2 weeks away, I would have skipped it. Although it's odd -- I've noticed this before: when I have a migraine and take a brisk walk, my head hurts MUCH less (sometimes not at all), but then it starts hurting again when I stop. I wonder if it's a blood flow thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That makes sense.

Speaking of walking, how are you guys doing?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Speaking of walking, how are you guys doing?
Me? I'm a sofa-shaped ball of lard. A month ago I was up to walking 5 miles a day and for some reason I just quit doing it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I seriously just walked another mile because I thought it would make my head hurt less.* So I guess I can chalk up 3 miles for today. I am really ready for that 5K, man. And the 1-miler the night before (which I am seriously doing mostly for the extra medal, since I can't eat the coneys or drink the beer they give us [though Tim's nephew has already claimed my coneys and beer]).
*(Did it make my head hurt less? Mayyyyyyybe.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I should go for a walk/run (also semi-training for a 5K in two weeks!) but it's chilly and almost raining, so I don't wanna. Sitting on my butt instead is so appealing.

Our wings are not tired.
I went to the Chiropractor this morning and he confirmed that I have made a mess of things, but he straightened me out. He said to go for it. I may get sore and stiff and unhappy, but it is not causing any real harm and it will get easier.
Swimming, walking, biking. Have the 5k this weekend and another one on Mother's Day. It would be nice to see some actual weight loss, but in the meantime I will settle for having more energy.

Herding cats for fun
I wish I knew what to say about bullying for you, WindSparrow.
You can't use violence, which would work quickly but set the wrong example.
If you cannot apply negative consequences (time out, no dessert, having to do the victim's chores), or perhaps there is a way to use positive reinforcement for good behavior.
Have you ever read any of Torey Hayden's books about her time in special education? That was all about communicating on a deep and basic level. I learned a lot about child management I will probably never use, but that's OK. Books are my superpower.
edit: I am jealous of all Laura's swimming time today.
