The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Wow.

Kristen, What are you doing up?

I'm taking my mom to her doctor's appointment in a few minutes.

ETA: Thankfully, here on the Island and not in the City.

Hey, Perkins! Hey, Kristen!

Kristen, are you tired of hearing people talking to you about the Disney program (I've just skimmed Minearverse)? Because I can tell you that you rock, without talking about it, in any thread, in any timezone.

DUH I'd forgotten that you weren't on Board Time right now.

Hi Nilly! You're so sweet.

I'm fine with talking about it online. I must confess that I am not looking forward to having the Disney convo over and over again during the family Christmas festivities.

I know you don't feel this way, but have you considered bursting into tears and running from the room the first time the subject comes up?

In my family, that would ensure it never came up again.

Then my mother would start crying for real and I couldn't stand the guilt.

That would be a problem.

Bummer.

I would consider it refreshing if anybody in a family gathering talked to me about anything that isn't my ongoing being-single (how do you say that in one word? singlehood? singlecity? singleness? I know that it isn't "singularity" because that's something in math, and I don't remember anybody in a family gathering talking to be about math). Obviously, that's not the same thing.

In my family, that would ensure it never came up again.

In mine, it would ensure everybody trying to console me about it in the next decade or so.

[Edit: so even when people are nice, I can find something to whine about. Oh, well.]

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

So it took 2 hours from being picked to getting into the city, but it wasn't that bad. The first LIRR station we stopped at wasn't having any trains stop until after 9am, so we went further out and caught a 7:35 in. I even managed to get a seat.

It is a wee bit like a zombie movie (as a co-worker said yesterday) with easily 3 times the number of people on the sidewalk as I usually have to deal with and almost no cars on the roads. We crossed Broadway and Fifth avenue without the light and were in no danger of getting hit.

Safely in the office now with bagel and coffee. We are the only 3 in though.
