It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

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.

What is even happening?

I like iceberg lettuce on BLTs, where flaccid lettuce has no place, but I like it for the crunch, and the bacon and (good, summer) tomatoes already provide enough flavor to go around. I also like it on burgers and on tuna (probably on all sandwiches, now that I think about it).

Punishingly Intricate

Wedge salad!!! Also, I'm good with celery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Weirdos.

The status is NOT quo.

It makes my heart happy to see minor food kerfuffles on b.org. It's comforting to know some things never change.

Our wings are not tired.

I am so suggestable. I bought a large package of celery last night at BJs for snacking.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So! I've been having a serious bout of depression and anxiety the last week or so. I know what caused it; I did the stupid thing again, the "I feel better, I don't need the meds" thing. I didn't stop, I just cut back, but the result doesn't follow suddenly, at least not for me. It gradually creeps up on me until one day I'm barely able to get out of bed. Then usually I think oh no I'm depressed again there is no hope. BUT! This time I thought what the hell is going on...OH RIGHT I stopped taking the evening ADs! And the problem is now one I can fix instead of the end of the world. I just have to get through the next few days until the re-increased dose kicks in. And for that, I have anti-anxiety meds. I will be fine. As long as I can make myself clean the catboxes so the felines don't come after me.

You weren't expecting a happy ending to that paragraph, were you?

Herding cats for fun

I am hoping you will be happy again. And that the cats behave themselves.

Oh zen.

Got any tips and tricks for being one-legged and working from home? How long did you take off after you got back here? Any devices/things I should order because they made life handier, or versions that were better than others?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In case anyone sees my uncle's comment on my FB, which I guess is about how racism doesn't exist, please don't jump in. I have no idea why he decided to post on this topic, but I can't handle a big thing. I have a couple cousins who may push back as it is.

I feel like a coward for saying this, but my level of coping is seriously low right now.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Dana, there is nothing wrong with saying, "I cannot cope with conflict in my space right now."

This goes well beyond "pick your battles" and into "preserve your own sanity and well-being." (At least in my experience.)
