Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

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.

Thrive to spite them
Weighted blankets are the bomb. I got mine from Sensacalm. I got the 25 lb which at times feels too heavy but usually is perfect.
I'm still stuck at home. The landlady only plows the plowed snow at the entrance of the road. The rest of it we are supposed to deal with on our own. Someone got out with a combination of shoveling and driving over snow but they have All Wheel Drive and higher clearance on their car.
So I'm here for another day. I'm hoping it will melt more tomorrow. But I'm glad I don't have to walk down the car. I put a video up on FB of part of my walk up.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
All the ~ma for T and her DH, sj.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I talked to T for a long time last night. She sounds awful and exhausted. Working and then spending all her time at the hospital. Her DH will be out of work for at least a year while recovering.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of ~ma for T and her family.
I just got done with a ridiculous day of work. Proctored an exam for two hours (600 students and three proctors for about half the time, until the fourth proctor showed up), then had the faculty holiday party (salad, and the saddest fajita ever), then six hours of grading exams. And a bunch of emails from students who want higher grades. And seeing the doctor tomorrow morning, because I'm still coughing.

I did get a cupcake, which was pretty much the only good thing about today. (The husband of the course coordinator stopped by with a bunch of bakery boxes of cookies and cupcakes and stuff, including a small box from the vegan bakery, which was very nice.)

Greg and I were talking about the inner voices, ego-states therapy stuff I'm doing. My therapist said it's not uncommon to have a lot of voices in your head if you've experienced trauma.
He says, "I guess I didn't have the luxury of all the trauma you've experienced. I have my dad's extra-critical voice, but I had to dig deep to even find the inner artist child. If it weren't for Julia Cameron putting spurs to my ass, I'd have never found it!"
the luxury of all the trauma...
He added, "I wondered why it sounds like wind whistling through a canyon in here sometimes."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
the luxury of all the trauma...
That reminds me of a meme I reposted on FB. It said:
"Wow, you're so mature for your age!"
"Thanks, it was the trauma."
Which is so damn true.
