Thank you. I think I'm going upstairs in search of cracker type food.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, aurelia - take care!
Good thing I came home when I did -- I turned on the TV to a storm warning and the wind is picking up outside.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, Aurelia. Feel better.
Strix, put all of that over some vanilla ice cream and you have one of my favorite summer desserts.

Ah, summer, when 92 degrees in the shade feels pretty good, especially with a light breeze, and I can cheerfully tell myself that "No, that's not an incipient panic attack while I'm driving down the freeway, that's just an incipient asthma attack from the smoke in the air! Much more reassuring."
edit: Really, it was reassuring, I actually felt cheered up. "No, I'm not going nuts, it's just my crappy lungs!"

Sorry you're feeling so rough, Aurelia. Feel better quick!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We went to the surprise birthday party for the fellow I mentioned who has anxiety, whose girlfriend said she had no idea how he feels about surprise parties (but went ahead and planned a party with 25 people anyway).
He was...not okay. But he's a good guy, so he pushed through and tried to put his best face on it. By the end of dinner (and after several shots of tequila), he had chilled out somewhat.
Man, I know his GF had the best of intentions, but, hell, if you know your BF has severe anxiety, maybe test the waters and see how he feels about surprise parties before just throwing one and hoping for the best. Daaaaang.

I've been okay with saltines and applesauce tonight, so things are looking up. I still think I'll delay the drive a day.

And I didn't see Javier Munoz as Hamilton; it was the guy who will be leading the Chicago cast. He was wonderful.
YAY! I'm going to the Chicago Hamilton in October, so this makes me happy to hear.

My sister-in-law had an unfortunate encounter with her sidewalk this afternoon and posted pictures of her bruised face on Facebook. She looks so much like her mother it's ridiculous, but the quickest way for her to never speak to me again would be to say so. Considering the two of them sued each other over various matters, they did not have a cordial relationship.
