Give Tim an extra hug for me. Not!son is damn lucky to have him.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.
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.

So maybe tonight will freeze his ass but not kill him, and motivate him to get down to that shelter tomorrow.
Maybe just buy him some thermal underwear? He probably can't pawn them for drugs or booze.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
There have been no posts in here for over 3 days? That's not cool. Not that I have anything to add to the conversation. Huh.
Yes, a big part of the reason I have a roommate is to help me sleep better! When there's someone else in the house my brain attributes all noises to them. If they aren't home, all noises are clearly murderers come to get me.
I should say that I had some difficulty getting to sleep last night and this conversation came to mind. Not that I was hearing any noises, and if I were, I could blame the cat. The house just felt very empty for some reason last night. I comforted myself with thoughts of my alarm and got to sleep eventually.

I didn't actually have trouble going to sleep last night. I just...didn't, until after midnight. At which point I cursed myself because I had to get up at 6AM, and then went to sleep. WTF self. Not good self-care.

Aren't you just back from a many-time-zones-away trip, meara? That'll mess you up for a while, sleep-wise, from what I understand.

Yeah, but I managed to get 8-9 hours sleep on Sunday night (after being mostly awake for like, 36 hours) and feel fine all day Monday. I was just reading and procrastinating and blah blah don't wanna think about work...

Well, still, your body is probably all confused about what time it is and when it is supposed to be asleep.
