Thanks to all of you who&#8217;ve posted kind comments to that previous post. You&#8217;re great folks. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p> As for the continuation of the evening, I read some from <i>Lost in a Good Book<\/i> by Jasper Fforde, then went out for some Comfort Food (in this case, pork lo mein) which I brought back home, then I started watching <i>The Fighting Temptations<\/i>, which has been fun so far (still need to finish it). Midway through the movie, dad called to say they were back from the Lake and I broke down during the call, which only embarrassed me more. After I&#8217;d composed myself, I went next door for some dad-comfort. We talked, I laughed, I cried, I bitched and dad listened. When <i>Friends<\/i> was over, mom came down to join in the laughing and crying and bitching. \ud83d\ude42 (She&#8217;d&#8217;ve been down earlier, but you see, it&#8217;s the next to last episode of <i>Friends<\/i>.) And once again to stress that I really have no reason to feel sorry for myself, one of my relatives called &#8211; my folks are taking him to the hospital tomorrow for a 4-6 hour heart check up. And his wife is practically an invalid. Yeah, I&#8217;ve got it good. Good friends, both in real life and online. Wonderful family. Fun work place. Stupid-ass chemicals\/hormones that decide that I should spend my evening crying. Gah!<\/p>\n<p> For those of you out there who deal with this shit every day of your lives, I *really* feel for you. I can barely stand to spend an evening like it. *hugs* to those of you who need &#8217;em a whole lot more than I do.<\/p>\n<p> Anyway, I&#8217;m off to finish watching <i>The Fighting Temptations<\/i>. Thanks again for the comments.
