I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I'm glad to see so many Buffistas who had wandered posting again. Hi, Kathy!

I called in sick today because I felt exhausted and wrung out, and had a headache that made thinking hurt. I need to go in tomorrow and get some stuff done, but like a lot of people have been saying, this has put perspective on things. I could take the day, so I did.

I need to update the BRQG sometime soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think tomorrow I might be functional, too, but I might have to not be here during the workday to keep it together. I'm noticing that time has gotten slipperier than usual - the last couple of days seem like they have lasted a couple years, but also zipped by in the blink of an eye. Right now it looks like there are just a couple of things that need my attention at work, if that holds I think I'll be able to manage. The party on Friday, I don't know. I might hide in a corner until it's a reasonably polite time for me to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah jesus, Strix. I'm sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(My doctor has told me that, if I start requesting refills too frequently, then he'll start doing blood tests on me.)

That just sounds... punishing to me. Is it just me and my issues that hears it that way?

Did he finish the sentence? That he'll start doing blood tests on you...to make sure you have that amount of drug in your bloodstream, because if you don't, then you're selling it instead of taking it.

Except not, because I recently proofread an article about screens for opiates, and -- control your shock -- they're not always accurate.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh Strix. I'm so sorry. This week is the worst.

Strix! I'm so sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, Strix. Jesus.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Strix, how awful. So much love to you and Dan and Micah and Dan's mom, and peace on his SD's spirit. But, ENOUGH. Everyone and everyone's beloveds stays put, right here. Please?
