You know those days when people keep asking you to do things you have never been asked to do before as if it was a normal part of your job you should know about? And then half the normal tasks you try to do have weird issues that require you to get help from various people, none of whom respond quickly or possibly at all?

Yeah.

And I think my body has gone anemic.

Geez, looks like a lot of people need hugs on National Hug Day. Hugs all around.

I spoke to my mom on the phone and she says she feels 95% better already now that the pain is gone. So yay.

That's great news, Callaluna.

All of the hugs to everyone. (They fit into the Intertubes!)

And... hell. I just started to type a teasing set of super-snuggly hugs to the non-huggers, and then remembered msbelle informing ita that she was a fluffy bunny, and felt sick all over again. Hugs anyway. Hugs, and possibly gin.

Also, Zenkitty is most definitely Zenkitty or Zen.

That's great to hear, Callaluna.

Workplaces need to back the hell off.

Right now I just wish my workplace would let me have a lighter laptop. Ugh. It's huge (and juuuuust doesn't fit in the neat bag I just bought and will have to return). And I don't know if it's all the travel the past few weeks, or stress, or what, but my back is all jacked up right now--to the point that even though I took a flexeril last night before bed, today I'm still in pain and my arms keep getting numb. Ugh. Took another flexeril and a heating pad, been using the foam roller, am hoping I"ll feel better soon. Ow.

I'm sorry about all the work jerks causing problems and unhappiness for Buffistas.

I tend to not think of people in their board names much anymore. Some people it is still all I know, but with Facebook I know most real names and that is how I think of most you. Doubly so if I have met you. Others said they think of us in board names. What say you?

I don't mind being called "Heather," but I do think there are enough here that it could get confusing. When I wrote my first fic I chose the name "Calligrafiti" so that my then-bosses wouldn't know I wrote semi-smutty fanfic. "Calli" feels like a nickname, which I kinda like. I tend to think of other board members by their board names if I've interacted with them solely online and, generally, by their given names if I've met them in person.

Callaluna, I'm glad your mom's feeling better. Amy, I'm happy to hear you've found a safe space to regroup.

One of my work neighbors' favorite exclamation is "Sweet Mother of Monkeys!" They're amusing.

I have had a rough day, so Ben & Jerry's right out of the carton seemed like a good plan. And it doesn't even taste good to me! My taste buds are still all jacked up from my tonsillectomy and dairy products are the nastiest.

And I am still eating it. I feel shame.

Edit: And I just heard my brother has been approved for emergency leave (he's in the Army) and is heading home tomorrow. And I am not. I am happy for him and happy mom will have someone with her and I also want to smash things.

I've switched to Pringles, which still taste good. With a Xanax chaser.
