Getting him out of the house by noon? NO DEAL.
I figured. Damn lazy academic types. Odds that I myself make it around the corner by then are slim to none.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good night Heather. I hope you get some sleep, and that tomorrow is a less bad day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Heather, they will be so glad to see you. Not only will you be helpful, the loving nature that oozes out of your pores will be a salve.
Hang in there, Sweetheart. Get some sleep and recharge.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Much love to you and yours, Heather. I hope your cousin gets in touch soon.
What's embarassing about crying in a dark room where no one is looking at you because they all paid good money to look at what's on the giant lighted screen?
I usually don't care too much what people think if I cry at the movies, but I was really embarrassed when I went to see The Return of the King on Trilogy Tuesday. I mean, the theatre is full of huge geeks, right, and we're all totally into the story. But somehow, I get SO weepy that I am just sobbing loudly for the last 15 or 20 minutes (and leaking quiet tears for a good half hour before that). People are turning around to look at me, wondering what is wrong with me, and I realize that I am actually the biggest dork the world has ever seen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Heather. You're such good people. My thoughts are with you.
I cry in movies, at the wrong times. I don't know if people notice, but I totally skim the crowd for weepers once I'm done. Because that's usually when it's time to cry (for RotK I was only affected by the early crypoints, and maybe by more of them than any one person was meant to, but for Million Dollar Baby I was totally recovered (and quite bouncy) by the sad parts. Wept like a baby for the middle third, though).
I especially look for men crying. Not to mock, or anything. I'm just very curious.
So, yes, if you're a stranger in the theatre near me, I will notice.

Heather, I hope you're able to get some rest. I wish I could take some of the hard away from you for the coming weeks.
