You all gonna be here when I wake up?

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.

Eek, Vortex. That's such a shame. I take it your bro and them are not celebrating with her either.

I told my parents I'd come visit sometime in spring, once they move to be near my sister. I think they're thinking like, early March. I'm thinking it may end up being later. But I also freaked myself out earlier today reading blogs from people who also had broken ankles and surgery. So far I haven't found anyone who had as much metal put in as I did. Yikes.

You're the winner!

If you get too greedy with sacrifices, you eventually run out.

They had actually already planned to be with my SILs family.

(To be clear I meant a shame your mom can't get/keep her shit together, not a shame she's going to be alone, dealing with her consequences)

I'm starting to get very impatient as this no-weight-bearing time gets closer to the end. And yet I know even after it's allowed it'll still take time to walk and so on, so my impatience will not magically be cured.

Feh. I was making coffee toffee for my office, but i managed to burn it. Am very annoyed because i was watching the thermometer, but I think that the pan was too large so the thermometer wasn't reading properly. I was going to make two batches, so I could try again, but eh.

You are not running a 5K in February. Just so we're clear on that.

Yeah, I'm more worried about like, being able to take a vacation somewhere warm before I go nuts in this Seattle winter. Being able to dance when all my friends come in from out of town because our annual convention is here this year. Not gaining one million pounds (because right now not only am I quite slothful, I can't weigh myself easily, and I'm wearing stretchy pants every day!) But I figure running is generally easier to measure, for a PT/insurance company.

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

I'm sorry for those of you dealing with family drama and idiocy. I am also glad to be a part of your chosen family, and I wish I could short circuit the conversations to come (or that already happened).

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay for chosen families!

I think I'm developing a holiday ritual, at least for now while I'm newly single. My plan is a simple Christmas dinner (a few of my favorites, nothing complicated) on my own, then go out to the animal shelter to snuggle with the cats. It's very similar to what I did for Thanksgiving.
