[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.

Because books.

Steph, unless you're psychic, you can't know what Tim is thinking until you do talk to him, and there are a million reasons he might not have been able to respond to your second text right away.

Can you take an Ativan? Or do some deep breathing? This is going to pass, but in the meantime try to remember what Strix said about your body's response to the lies your brain is telling you.

It's been over 2 hours. Pretty sure that text is DOA.

Can you take an Ativan?

I did. I am no longer hyperventilating but still crying nonstop, which is hampering my editing a bit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I wish I could do more. and I don't know Tim's work life. But I drop out of touch for half a day at a time.

anyway - more worried about you - but glad you are inching forward

Batman would like to give you a hug, Steph. A stern broody hug.

I cannot post what I wanted to because of the less than symbol GOD DAMN.

I know I'm not Tim's responsibility and he is really busy at work, but I'm hurt that he couldn't be bothered to respond to a legit expression of extreme distress, not even with a stupid less than 3. I wasn't bummed that we were out of milk; I was hyperventilating and couldn't stop.

But whatever. At least I know not to bring my crap up with him now. Hey, it spares me the humiliation in front of my husband.

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

Teppy, he didn't respond this once--but you have a lifetime with him and I promise you that he can AND WILL WANT TO learn how to respond to your distress. Thisis not a referendum on your whole life. This is a HORRIBLE day, and it will pass as they all do.

I think it's better not to express it. I mean, I knew that. I just forgot.
