So I'm back in DC for the next 2.5 days for work. I'll actually be seeing some of my former coworkers, and spending a decent amount of time on the Hill. Sunday would have been my and Rob's 12th anniversary, and the drive in and seeing things that are so familiar yet no longer "mine" are using up whatever spoons I have left rapidly. Please let me just get through the next few days without losing it. I'm already on thin ice.

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sending you lots of love and good vibes, Maria.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibes and ~ma to you, Maria. If I could give you some of my small reserve of spoons, I would (eta: I actually do have a couple to spare just at present; if I could donate them to a Buffista spoon bank, I would).

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.
So much love to you, Maria.
And to everyone else.

Compassionately intolerant
Maria, I really feel for you and am more than happy to distract you with a friendly pup and a cup of tea! I'm at 7th and Indie, across from Eastern Market.

Our wings are not tired.
Coping~ma and all manner of love and wishes for endurance for the next few days, Maria.
And Eeeeep! Quick and rapid solutions ~ma for you beekaytee! Yes, I would love to see you away from the horrible landlord, but for your benefit, not his! I hope your attorney has helpful ideas.

I was just thinking how weird it was that there were no posts at all, when I realized I wasn't logged onto the board on my new phone.

Always Anti-fascist!
My dad gave me birthday money and kind of reminded me why I don't work on our relationship anymore(although he has come around on healthcare, just not enough to, like, do anything. Argh!) Anyway, the one that killed me is him bitching about my cousin not Thinking Ahead and Planning For The Future. Which makes sense(she was always indulged enough to make her a pain) until you consider facts like her being on her second or third kidney and that the family was kind of worried her marriage was a sweetheart scam...after fifteen years I'm guessing it's just weird and we don't understand it...maybe it's okay that she lives for the moment more... I wish I would have, but I've been an ant my whole life*and yes, part of that was his conditioning to wait for a free moment that never arrives.
