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.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.
'Never Leave Me'
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Not!son had his court date today for his DUI. Apparently in Ohio, it's an automatic 45-day suspension of your license (which, you know, I don't disagree with). He's 15 days into it, so he has 30 days to go. Still working with Tim, still living in his car (but not in our driveway).
And -- I am not making this up -- his dog died this morning (the dog had been living at the GF's mother's house with the GF and little girls). Tim says that not!son has the worst luck of anyone he knows, and I generally DISagree, because I think his poor "luck" is just the natural consequences of poor choices. But his dog dying is really sad.
So I told Tim to bring him home after work tomorrow and I would make a big vat of chili and corn muffins and he could get a good hot meal. And he can take a shower if he wants one. But he isn't sleeping on the couch. That's where I draw the line. But I do feel really bad about his dog. So, chili.
If that's enabling, I'm okay with that. But I don't think it's enabling. I think it's a meal.

Our wings are not tired.
Being kind is not the same as enabling. Well defined lines are a good thing. Also, sucks about the dog. And he can't even mourn with GF and kids, which is tough.

I think that's a perfectly cromulent line to draw Steph. It's not that you don't care for him, you are both honestly doing what you need to do to keep yourselves safe and sane while helping him in the way that you can. A full belly and a shower is a very good thing.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
ND - congrats to you and Pix on the house! Very cool. I love the backyard space!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sad about the dog. A good meal and a shower is a kindness.
Congratulations on the house, Pix and ND!

Seems like a good line to me, Steph!
I started looking at my trip photos today. Deleted a whole bunch that were blurry or duplicates or whatever. But still sooooo many to go.
Also, got a haircut and had half my head shaved. I think she may have gone a little farther than I wanted but oh well, it'll grow.
