Why don't you cry about it?: a miscellany.

1. Things that have made me cry recently:
  • the father-and-son scenes in Man of Steel
  • a Shawn Colvin playlist my son put on while I was making a salad 
  • stuff my grandsons did and said
  • getting on the airplane to go home
  • a video chat with my son and grandson
  • various parts of several episodes of The Killing I watched last night when we went home
  • getting ready to go for a walk with the dog last night
  • some other things that I cannot really talk about right now.
2.  Things I could not care less about:
  • writing a draft of this chapter that's due on the 15th
  • exerting myself in any way shape or form, especially mentally.
3. You should really check this out:
 

 Of course I subscribed. And it's true: I find a daily dose of happiness in just scrolling through the links that Dave Pell curates, with his dry and hilarious commentary. I often click through to a few of the articles. It's timely and smart and always good stuff. You might find some of it on your own--but you might not, and since more uncertainty in these dark times might just push you (or "me") over the edge, you'd better subscribe too.

4. What I want to eat/drink:

--just
  • salad,
  • watermelon,
  • and lemonade. Or limeade.
In related news, I have only one of these items in the house. Woe.

  3. I'm reading this post on the eve of my own move. Thanks for putting words to how I feel right now, HT. You always touch my heart. Sending love and wishes for watermelon from Georgia/almost Alabama.

  4. Ann might say something about big girl panties, at this juncture. My paucity of experience in such matters, however, affords me only a nodding commiseration.

    Enjoy the regular rhythms ta home.
