Yikes, indeed! I hope everyone's all right.
I remember when a refinery holding tank exploded back when I was in high school. It was about 15 miles away, yet the house still shook a bit, and everyone was outside looking towards the northeast. The workers cleaning the outside of the tank (and causing the explosion when they used blowtorches to do some improvised sandblasting) were vaporized. I lost a second cousin when the grain elevator he was working at spontaneously combusted--that one cracked windows for miles around.

My friends a block away said they thought a truck hit their store.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
If I feel really crappy and low...I can eat half of this cadbury caramello bar and it's TOTALLY FINE, right?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I don't know. Half doesn't exactly show a lot of follow-though, does it? Better go for the whole thing, just to be sure.

I'll bet!
I've been hearing thumps and booms all day- I think it is trees and branches going down in the ravine. I was in an interior office in a meeting around the time that boom happened.

It's a really big bar.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Allyson-- eat less than you want, but do have some. Then you get all the fun of chocolate without the bitter self-recrimination afterwards.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You may want to save some in case you feel low again this week. I mean, I hope you don't, but perhaps you should be prepared.
Bam. Explosions scary. We lived down the street from one of the IRA nail bombs in 82 (Hyde Park). House shook, windows rattled, and I ran outside to see what the commotion was all about. I got to the end of our street but couldn't work out to turn left or right--windows were shattered either way, as far as I could see.
I'm so very grateful I didn't take that right turn and reach the site of the explosion. I'm also glad at the classmates who had been sitting near where the "matching" Regents Park bomb went off, and walked away about an hour before it exploded.
