{{{Tep}}} You should be free of taking care of everyone! I know it's hard to actually do, but I hope you get at least a little timeto, I don't know, not.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Teppy, you absolutely deserve reciprocity for your concern and compassion, at the very least. I am so sorry that the people in your immediate family aren't able or willing to provide it.

Oh Teppy. You deserve care and you deserve to be angry
Toddson, that is a lot. Feeling like that and not acting on it was sort of what caused me to shut down and not clean my apartment. So I am glad you are interviewing. That sounds like a good fit, and admissions is fun! If I try for another job, it will probably be in admissions.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
um ... not interviewing, just looking for a new place to live. I had a nice spreadsheet on my computer, buildings in good locations that I could afford that had good reviews, phone numbers, links, everything I needed ... and the !@#!!! computer died. File saved on the (defunct) hard drive. I do have a list of the buildings ... guess it's time to start over.

And because it deserves its own post - Teppy, can you go away from everyone for a couple of days? Not necessarily far, no need to be someplace expensive, just someplace away?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Toddson, Teppy, JZ, and whoever else is being put on the brink by other people's problems, ease and help and relief wished to all of you, solutions that help and don't make things worse, and a better spacing of unpleasant events. Hugs (except for Teppy) and hairpats and extravagant compliments galore to each of you.
I'm sorry that things conspire.

Whoops! Did I conflate two people? Frankly I can't see that well on my phone! I think I need bifocals!

Thrive to spite them
Teppy I am so sorry about all of this. I like Toddson's idea.
Can your therapist help you figure out away to shift some of the care taking responsibility in someway?
