I'm sorry I'm obsessing here.

I just got the following note from the mom of one of the kids in the accident

Hello! I just wanted to tell you that the boys, at the hospital, were talking about how quick CJ made it to their vehicle and helped them out of the back window of D's truck. They were such a wonderful team, of course, but that's the first person they each seemed to recall after the accident. That's pretty cool, and I thought worth mentioning to you. He did good, and so did they all today.

This is what kicked the tears. Her kid just spent a few hours in ER getting tested for internal injuries and she thinks of my kid.

Aw, Suzi, CJ's a good kid. He deserves some recognition.

And you know what, that's a mom who is stopping to see the good that is around her as she is thankful for her child's life and health.

I'm so glad everyone's OK, Suzi, and that CJ continues to act on his enormous heart and courage.

Nora,

I have been thinking about you. You tired of it much much longer than I would have.

Suzi,

peace to all parties in this. Goodness.

smonster,

hang in there. yikes.

Yay CJ and glad there weren't any more serious injuries.

Hah! OKCupid glow lights. Maybe it's a business plan.

Went out with two friends I hadn't seen in too long, tonight, and it was so good. We talked about dating, which was fun, but also just everything.

You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I am so fucking tired of beer.

IT'S LIKE I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANY MORE!!!!

You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I am so fucking tired of beer.

You went and turned beer into your job! Maybe if you branched out into cocktails and then deep fried carnival food you'd have a broader palette to write about.

Go, CJ! I'm glad no one was too badly hurt.

Sorry, Nora.

I say you upgrade that glow light to a glow cloud (all hail)

I'm down with that plan! Cecil, make it happen.

Ah, Nora. You've been going at it super hard this last few months. I think a little burnout is normal right now. It's hard to find balance, I think, when you want something so much.

So glad the injuries weren't any more serious, and major kudos to CJ and the rest of the team. A tiny silver lining in this mess, but perhaps they can use the experience when helping others - remembering what it's like to be on the other side of shock and adrenaline.

The hormone switch must have flipped back overnight, because I feel much calmer this morning. Hormones freaky.
