Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
(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.
so my impatience will not magically be cured.
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.
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).
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.
My sister, who I haven't had any contact with for a few years now, called me a week ago Saturday. I didn't pick up. She left a message reaching out. I haven't returned it.
Every contact with her seems to lead to anger and frustration at best.
I feel like a horrible person for just ignoring the call.
Sigh. Family.
You're not a horrible person. IIRC, she's behaved pretty terribly to you, and there's no reason you need to make yourself miserable, especially this time of year.
Not a horrible person. None of you are horrible people for refusing to deal with family members who are Not Good for your emotional health.
ND, you don't need anger and frustration. Or worse. Even from a sister.
