I'm sorry, askye. I hope you can find time/space to decompress.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Who got lost on the way to the testing place, parked two blocks away and had to sprint through a rainstorm to get there on time and yet still passed her test? THAT WOULD BE ME.
I have one more test next week, the English Certification, and then bob's your motherfucking uncle and I can get hired as a real teacher with benefits and everything.

I am graciously accepting all accolades.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yay Scrappy!
{{{askye}}} The Blasey Ford stuff is kicking up terrible things for me, too. I'm not exactly an assault survivor, but not unequivocally not, either; I don't even know how to describe what I still call "the incident." But I know it happened the same year, and I was a year younger than she was, and nobody but my parents and my therapist knew for years, and the casual, easy, immediate contempt and loathing people feel totally free to express toward her are just drilling down into a core of volcanic rage seething right under my skin. I'm just barely able to keep it from leaking out all over everything. And I'm seeing the same thing everywhere, from so many women. It feels terrifying and all-consuming and exhausting.
I'd rather think about Scrappy being the most ass-kicking name-taking teacher in town, really.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The Blasey Ford stuff is kicking up terrible things for me, too.
I can't read too much about it because of the trifecta of (1) women are not believed; (2) gaslighting; and (3) this country grossly misunderstands the effects of trauma.
I'd really like to make it to 50 without having a stroke, and that shit is giving me a damn rage aneurysm.

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

Thrive to spite them
Yay scrappy!!
The second half of work was ok. There is just a lot to do and we are short handed . There just aren't enough people to fill all the jobs in the area. But I had some really nice customers. This morning I had women who don't seem to understand the concept of "I'm out of your size".
We also started putting out the Christmas decorations for sale.
Penny has been in my lap purring and I've been watching iZombie. I really wish I had a day off but that is Sunday. And my moral is bothering and I'm still waiting to find out what the dental insurance will cover The second half of this year looks like more medical debt.
For me I think a big part of what is triggering the PTSD is seeing people minimizing what happened and also questioning why she isn't acting the way they expect (coming forward at the time etc). I am modifying my social media habits.
This is also making me feel rally pessimistic about the future and go the dark thoughts that this is the beginning stages of an authoricratic regime/dictatorship situation.
