I'm just so tired of my brain lying to me.
Listen to Bitches not Brains! We don't lie to you. I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time. Enjoy Ragnarok. May it turn around your mood.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Nora, what Steph said. And everyone else. You're the best of persons.
askye, borage oil has helped me. You might also try black cohosh, it works for many women.
I don't like sleeping in an empty house, but cats solve that problem for me. It's rare that I feel like I have to investigate a noise.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So, not!son has moved his car and is sleeping in it tonight (and, I assume, for the forseeable future). The low is going to be 25 tonight, and then the lows are going to be in the 30s for the next 5 days.
I'm honestly hoping tonight is bad enough to send him to the shelter he turned down earlier in the week.
Why do some people have to learn everything the hard way? I don't get it.

Ugh, I really hope he wakes up.

Tim pointed out that he and his crazy brothers camp every February no matter the temperature, and they have camped when the low was 10 or 15 degrees. I said, well, you had thermal underwear and a sleeping bag rated to 0 degrees, etc., and Tim said a car is just as warm as a tent. Which sort of makes sense. But not!son doesn't have thermal underwear. (Though his car is in the lot of a Meijer that's open 24 hours, so he could go buy thermal underwear if he wants.)
Tim did have a long talk with him today, and when Tim reminded him that the homeless shelter that he turned down has a program specifically to get individuals into housing within 30 days AND that program has an 81% success rate, then not!son perked up about that prospect and said he'd reconsider the shelter.
So maybe tonight will freeze his ass but not kill him, and motivate him to get down to that shelter tomorrow.

Give Tim an extra hug for me. Not!son is damn lucky to have him.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Agreed. Not!son is lucky to have both of you.

^^^ Exactly. I know so well how difficult it is for you and Tim to hold firm and help not!son become a responsible capable person. A lot easier road to just take care of stuff for him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kudos to you and Tim on how you are handling this very difficult situation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Maybe just buy him some thermal underwear? He probably can't pawn them for drugs or booze.
