That's the one who was just looking for a friend, meara? Maybe that word doesn't mean what she thinks it means.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I'm trying to translate that into Newfinese, and I can't? Aeay=Away?
Pix, Have you guys had yourselves checked out? I am glad kitty is on the mend.
msbelle, hang in there. I hope mac gets hit with the cluestick soon.
I have recovered from the stomach flu, and will feel safe in Xmas indulging because I lost about 6-7lbs in 48 hours. I just had a bagel, which was the first thing I ate without fearing it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry Pix and ND. That's awful.

Ugh, msbelle, I am sending love and support to you, and gentle clue vibes to mac. It's so hard and I don't have any advice as I know you are doing the kinds of things I'd be doing in that situation. Franny's grades are going to be okay, but her grade in math took a nose dive right at the end, when it counts. Oh well. I watched her beat herself up and decided not to join in, but I will be meeting with her teacher next year.
And Pix and ND, lots of sympathy there. Sounds like a mess, I am so sorry you have to deal with it.
lisah, that sounds delicious. I'd love the recipe.
Glad you have the right man, Burrell! :) now get your celebrating on! Is Franny old enough to babysit? Plan a nice dinner tomorrow or a movie! Or both!
We are going to a nice brunch today when the kids are at the art conservatory. Haven't decided where yet, and I need to go make pancakes for the kids

We had pancakes also this AM. It seems like the first day of vacation is a perfect time for pancakes.
I should go to the post office, but I'm filled with can't this morning. I just can't. At all. And I kinda don't want to. I suck at Christmas for my parents which is making this worse. I think my malaise is related to my cold. I've tried netty pot, mucinex, a hot toddy. Nothing is making me feel better.

I have to do my performance review today. I feel like I'm writhing a legal brief.

I napped. I'm mostly packed. Just have to figure out which jeans I'm wearing and which I'm packing. But first, I think I'll go swim.

Ugh Kat, I hate the Christmas don't wannas. I am trying to at least fake a bit of happy for the break and the holidays. I have actual happy for the thought of delicious brunch, happy enough that I skipped the pancakes for myself, but not the coffee. Drank all the coffee.

That's the one who was just looking for a friend, meara? Maybe that word doesn't mean what she thinks it means.
If this is so, I recommend taking her at her word and acting as a disinterested platonic friend, no matter how oblivious that requires you to be. She'll clearly find that infuriating.

Ugh, just found out a family friend is going home into hospice care. I have known her and her husband all my life, their kids are my age, so we spent a LOT of my youth together. The father died a year ago, he was my dad's best friend. The mom, P, had been in a horrific muni accident a couple of years back, dealing with cancer since July, and then got hit with pneumonia and aplastic anemia.
My heart breaks for the family - mom and dad gone just over a year from eachother. For me, every time I check my e-mail I'm terrified when I see a Caring Bridge update, knowing one of the next ones will say she is gone from this world. She is an AMAZING woman, as was her husband.
