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

I did not get enough rest this weekend. Or I didn't get enough stuff done this weekend. Or possibly both.

Now I'm looking at furniture online. I need a new dresser. I found one at Ikea that looks like it should work, and it's made out of actual wood, not particle board, but buying from Ikea means that I'll need someone to help me put it together. (I've got a friend at work who offered to help with stuff like that, but his wife just had a baby last week, so I'm not going to impose.) (That reminds me, I was going to make them some food. I need to figure out something to make.)

Ikea apparently just bought Taskrabbit because people kept hiring them to put together Ikea furniture.

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

I would advise against an IKEA dresser. The drawers get wonky pretty quickly. I'd suggest checking Craigslist, which is a great place to get a good used one. Look for dovetailed joints on the drawers.

The good - I got 2 tickets to see P!nk next May!!!
The bad - I was trying to get 6 tickets

The good - I sent a note to the rescue saying I needed to return Dahlia, my stress levels cannot be helping her and I needed to stand up for myself.
The frustrating - the addition of Jack has actually helped the dynamic with the dogs. Crowley can run off his energy with Jack and Dahlia isn't getting stressed by Crowley.
The bad - She is not housebroken at all

The good - I sent a note to my doctor regarding my depression levels.
The frustrating - She wants me to come in for an appointment even though I was there a few weeks ago for a med check
The bad - I have to call and make an appointment and knowing her typical schedule, it will be a few weeks out.

I'm EXHAUSTED.

Hil, I was just looking at professional organizers online. And their before pictures are not nearly messy enough for me.

Today is a better day.

One person who wanted to go to Pink has changed her mind. I'm going to see if I can get 3 more when they go on general sale on Friday and even if we can't all sit together, we can all go together.

I took Dahlia back to the rescue yesterday and felt like a weight was off my shoulders. The owner of the rescue is amazing with dogs, so she is going to see what she can do to help her.

I have NOT called to make a doctor's appointment. I ended up sleeping a LOT yesterday afternoon and got over 10 hours last night and I'm feeling much better mentally right now. Rebuilding my ability to cope.

Glad you are feeling better Suzi.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, sometimes what your body needs is a lot of sleep, even when you think you're getting enough. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I am looking for sports bras, nice basic, pull-over, non-racer-back sports bras. No underwires, no extraordinary support, I've got no concerns about lifting and separating, one of the benefits to me of being overweight and middle-aged. I just want comfortable containment with no hooks poking into me. Does anyone have brands they like in such things?

So I have a job interview at target on Friday. It's part time but maybe ibcould be cross trained to meet full-time hours. And the starting pay for the position is $13/hr. It is 55 min drive but the issue there is just how I would feel driving back and forth. I'm not sure what to do about the job I accepted.
