Things got better

[serene]

Thank you, everyone. The day got much better as soon as my local family woke up. Several things made the day better as it went along:

The kid made me tea with milk and sugar and was sweet to me.

Both boyfriends were, as always, sweet to me. Sense a theme?

loracs was sweet to me.

Then james_huber and I took the kid to Best Buy, then the grocery store for Mom Food stuff, then home, in the Zipcar. Have I mentioned I love Zipcar?

Oh, and on the way to get the Zipcar? Dance flashmob!

Walked the 2 miles home from the Zipcar lot, bought a jacket and some burgers on the way, and just talked about how I wished I'd awakened everyone sooner to make me feel better.

And somewhere along the line, got a hint that I'm probably really hormonal today, which would help explain at least some of the crying.

And james_huber and wtfpotatoes cleaned the kitchen! You have no idea how depressing it is to me when the house is a pit. It's still a pit, but at least the kitchen is lovely, so I can cook tomorrow!

Talked with the kid for a long time about how complicated her emotions about her mother are, but I interrupted too much, so I hope I get a chance to do it again soon, with more listening.

Now I'll sit and veg for a while and write a blog post or six.

How was YOUR day? Anything joyful happen to you, with you, because of you?

A better day back at ya. I had a good talk with Jake. He talked to the lawyer, and he's going to report to jail on Monday. He is bummed that he can't bring any of his books with him. Other good things were said, and he sounded very okay.

When I reach back for what I was feeling when I was so upset, it almost doesn't feel real now. Isn't that odd? Because it was very, very real. But now that I know that things are calmed down and my fear has left me, it's like I can barely remember how real it was. Okay, that makes no sense when I read it back, but I think you will know what I mean.

I am glad that your day was better.

I'm always sorry when I miss your bad days by not reading the Internets, because I could have been sweet to you too. ;-). But I'm glad it's better.

Love you!
