Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

The landlord is doing some sort of repairs or something in the apartment upstairs. He also parked in the driveway in a way that makes it impossible for me to get my car out. (I don't have anywhere that I need to go, but it's still annoying. There's plenty of room for him to park without blocking me.)

OK, everything is put away and vacuumed and scrubbed to my satisfaction. The apartment is in a state where I would be comfortable having friends over, no question. But there have been other times when it's looked like this when he's thought it was awful.

Also, I have concluded that I am simply not capable of getting a duvet cover onto my comforter by myself. I've watched all the videos that show how it's supposed to be done, and my arms just can't do it.

Maybe I could help tomorrow? I feel like between the 2 of us, we can do it.

Thanks. We can give it a try.

Good luck, Hil.

I found a few specialty Vampirina things for the party and cobweb plates and napkins to supplement them. ltc is going to love it and my family is going to hate it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Perhaps some bats? either soft plush ones or paper?

I bought black and purple bats to hang from the ceiling.

Blah. Buying a vacuum with the specialty allergy filter is kind of pointless if all the dust flies up into my face when I'm trying to empty it.

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

Laura, my PCP has decided she needs to see me four times a year, with bloodwork before each visit, and annual boobsquishing and other labs (bone density, frex) at her direction.

She doesn't have kids to put through college, but one more reminder from her office, and I'm liable to remind *her* that I have coverage for *one* physical checkup per year, don't have supplementary insurance, everything else is out of pocket, and I am not financing her luxury SUV or summer home.

I get there are things she wants to keep an eye on, but necessary blood work and a phone call if there's anything of concern will suffice, you know? I don't need to pay her $110 to sit in front of her while she reviews lab results on her laptop and chirps, "Everything looks good!" Yeah, except my poor dead wallet.
