You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[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.

The only thing that can explain my sinuses right now is that I think they're phoning home to the mothership. Mothership: please respond with appropriate codes.

Ugh. Sean. Peace to your guts.

Y'all are funny today.

Laura, I'm so glad for you. Right there with you with two steps forward, bitchslapped by universe two steps back, then suddenly finding yourself six steps sideways from where you started.

Dear self - it really doesn't work to use caffeine to compensate for lack of sleep, because half the time it just ends up giving you a panic attack. You know this.

I apparently needed someone to remind me of this today too.

My sistah in jitters.

Of course, I don't know what the alternative is when I actually have to drive and be places.

Ha. Yeah. It's somewhat my fault that I went to bed so late last night, but still.

I'm about to go take all my change to CoinStar so I have grocery money for the next week. Yep, it's like that.

Last night it was just tossing and turning because there was a huge storm and all my joints were aching, but I have been guilty of just going to bed late too.

Xposting from facebook - I'm looking at insurance plans again, since COBRA is spendy and going to run out in a few months (before Obamacare fully kicks in). Anyone have advice, an individual plan they like, experience with a high-deductible HSA? I'd like to pay between $100-200/month and I need outpatient mental health care if at all possible.

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

Thank you all for the condolences. I'm feeling as much relieved as I am sad - the poor little guy had a rough couple of days at the end.

Still, I got a bit weepy this afternoon when I came home, and my little buddy wasn't at the door meowing in impatience, waiting for me to come in. I also still need to deal with all of the cat parephenalia (beds, toys, etc.) that are around the house.

Oh, Anne, that is so hard.

Well, I said (on fb) that I wanted a conversation about money! Boy did I fucking get one. It's still going, ninety-eight comments and counting. My friend N, who's backing the optimistic libertarian point of view, has suggested to me in a private conversation that I look into property management as a way to make extra money. ::sigh::
