My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My wheelchair was delivered today, but the battery wasn't. The shipment tracker thing says the battery should get here tomorrow, so I can actually try it out then. For now, I tried sitting in it, and I think I'm going to need to add an extra cushion to the back, but I think it will work out.

Thrive to spite them

Hil, sorry the battery is sent separately. I hope that it really works well for you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Seriously, that's a really great thing! For both of you! askye, you've been making progress and not giving up, and that's hard shit you're working through. It makes you a badass. And smonster, starting your own company is leveling up in a MAJOR way, but you really do have the skills and experience to offer a high-quality service that people need. And that makes YOU a badass.

Steph says what I wish I had thought to say. Smonster and askye, I am kind of overwhelmed by how proud I am of both of you.

Zen, I hope your weariness soon overtakes the pain so you can have the release of sleep.

I don't know why I am suprised that the battery did not come in the same package as the wheelchair, Hil. But I hope there are no more delays and it works well for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Aww, thanks, y'all.

Hil, I really hope this chair works out for you and lets you do more things with less pain.

Speaking of pain, Zen, I hope you get relief and can sleep soon.

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

Steph is wise.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Getting ready for the flight home! The insurance company is paying not only for my upgraded seat but also for Jenny to fly with me.

Good flight, Zen. I hope everyone takes great care of you.

Apparently I do not sleep well on Percocet at all. Couldn't get to sleep, and then I was up at 4:30. I have to go for blood work at 11, so today's going to be fun.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow, go insurance company. (words I thought I would never say) May the trip home be smooth and uneventful.

Dana, I hope there are nap opportunities aplenty today.

Amazing! Safe travels Zen.

So my son might go to work for Tesla. His GF has worked there for years and her boss randomly asked her if he might be interested because he thought he would be a good fit. We all talked about it at length because DH and I have worked together for 29 years and know the obstacles. She said she would not have considered it if she didn't know him to be so responsible and reliable and that she agreed with her boss that he would be great there.

He is still a student, but would shift to evening or virtual classes. Who knows. My bottom line is that this may double my chances of ending up with a nice pre-owned Tesla with 2 of them watching for me. He really is a good fit anywhere. So interesting.
