Good news! (some desperately needed cheer this morning)

Thank you all for your incredibly kind words and support yesterday. I'm doing as well as one can expect. I lost a classmate to a car accident my senior year, so I'm as well equipped to deal with Monday as I can be. Thank you for keeping their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Onward to the good news:

I asked Mom how she would feel about me going up to KC a day early so I could take in the BDU show on the 17th, and she said yes, that I should make a trip of it and go enjoy myself!!!! I've already bought my ticket! So exciting!!!

To that end, does anyone have crash space that they wouldn't mind an apocalypticbob and a rowangolightly inhabiting? We'd be coming up on the 17th, doing the BDU show that night, be available for hanging out and such during the 18th, going to the Longest Night Ball that night, and heading out pretty early on Saturday to get back to the Tulsa area in time for her Yule shindig.

I'm screening comments to this in case people want to offer crash space discretely but will unscreen comments not related to that.

EDIT: Looks like we have a place! Thanks so much for the offers!!!

Hope to see everyone at one or both events!!

Watching Enchanted this evening...

I still want the fairy tale... I just want it on my terms.

And I'm sick to death of apologizing for wanting what I want. I won't do it anymore. Settling for less than what will make me happy would require me being untrue to myself, and I refuse to do that.

And that's that.

(No, no one has said anything to me or been cruel...this is just me reminding myself not to settle for anything that will make me miserable just because I'm facing yet another holiday alone. I have to remind myself of these things so I don't make rash or foolish decisions sometimes.)
