I'm watching a Les Mis concert on TV and have severe allergies. How can I do it in a theater out in public?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Everyone else will be crying too. Well, lots of people.

A work acquaintance has asked me to go to Les Mis with her, and I am wary, because I have been known to audibly wail in the theatre. I am not sure I want to do that with a 22 year old cow-orker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was listening to the Slate Culture Gabfest podcast over the weekend, and in the middle of them talking about how the movie wasn't good, there was a short clip of "I Dreamed A Dream," and I suddenly had the worst allergies! It was crazy.

It's nuts! You'd think familiarity might make a person able to keep composed. But that's a good point; I won't be the only weepy one.

I was sort of thinking that since I know my cry points , I might be able to hold it in, but if I am concentrating on holding it in, am I really enjoying it?
I got allergies today listening to an NPR piece on Schoolhouse Rocks. Bob Dorough singing Three is a Magic number was a cry point!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The last time I saw Les Mis on stage, I was in London during grad school. The cheap(er) student tickets were in the front two rows. I could see the orchestra in the pit. Which meant they could see me as I was sobbing my way through the revolution. But I wasn't the only person doing so, and I figured the orchestra was used to it.

Today I ate chia seeds. It was odd, but not unpleasant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Putting this on (you can't see the Mary Janes or the polka dot ankle socks, but the steel toes are an important part of the ensemble) was about the only way I could talk myself into coming in to the office.
The stupid nurse (I dunno) is coming to visit tomorrow at 7:30AM, so why am I at the office instead of home tidying like a fiend? But I bet she knows exactly what "is a slob, shoved everything under the bed" looks like.
