Our wings are not tired.

We've certainly all done the reading and nodding and sending ~ma silently thing. I'm sorry you are overwhelmed, Pix. Letting us know allows us to send you loving thoughts.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Don't think the potential flippers are gonna buy the place, but they said they would let me know in 1-2 days. They would be basically gutting the whole house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's wild.

I went shopping with my mother and almost killed her when she said the skirt I was trying on was nothing thrilling, after she spent an hour trying on jeans!! Otherwise it was fine, though.....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pix, it is so frustrating to try to access mental healthcare, and the worst part is that when you need it, you don't have enough spoons to deal with the bullshit involved with trying to access it.

I got a random package today that's apparently a sample box from a really good gluten free company (Schar). The thing is, I absolutely don't remember ordering it, so I can only conclude it was something I stumbled upon one night when I was up with insomnia, and then I forgot ordering it. (And there is no transaction with Schar in my bank/credit card statements going back through all of 2019. So apparently it's either a freebie or someone sent it to me and didn't tell me. Either way, gluten free crackers and cookies, woo!)

Normally my insomnia nights lead to me putting books on hold at the library and forgetting, which is funny enough on its own when I get the email telling me I have a book to pick up. But random snacks being delivered to me is a whole other level.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Took Mr. S to the birthday party for the daughter of some friends of ours. Small, home party, and he seemed to have a good time. (It didn't hurt that there were blocks to play with.) His new bed arrived today as well(He seems to have outgrown the toddler bed.)

Random snacks should be a band name.

Yikes, msbelle!!

I am on my third day of migraine and today it's accompanied by puking repeatedly. This is not appreciated one bit. I have felt utterly awful all day and I hate this is ruining my weekend! I feel momentarily a tiny bit better because I just puked again, though my head still hurts.

And to be true to the name, they have snacks at their shows, but you never know what snacks they'll be. Wasabi peas and fruit rollups? Skittles and pork rinds? NO ONE KNOWS.

I have actually seen a snack-themed superhero rock band named The Go-Nuts.

All of their songs were about snacks AND they had a Snack-a-Pult which launched snacks into the audience. (It was a tiny catapult powered by a bungie cord that shot Costco cheetos into your face.)

Spoon~ma and finding a therapist soon~ma, Pix. I'm sorry things are overwhelming.

I am on my third day of migraine

I'm only having the pain, sore muscles (some tense as a reaction to the pain), and exhaustion from the pain, but sister, I hear ya. On Thursday I forgot my painkillers at home so I had the luxurious experience of being eight hours at work with pain and without pain killers. Took me almost 36 hours to mostly recover from that. Not recommended. Feel better soon!
