Ignition

Reason 57: FIRST GAME. I started today feeling like crap. (I'm still not over yesterday's disappointment. I dwell. It's not good.) But son, as soon as I got in that car, I felt amazing. I just needed that change of scenery. And going back into DC felt so relieving. And then the park?!? OMG. The field in person was beautiful. The crowd was so great. We lost but it was really all about the experience for me. I had a blast. I am now here, refreshed and ready to face new challenges. Emily is back, so I have company. I'm content. And can't thank my darling friends enough for being there for me.

Chin Up, Cheer Up

Reason 56: Good friends. You already know. He couldn't make it today. Basically what I've been looking forward to all week was shot down, 'cause that's always how it goes. And yeah, I'm pretty heartbroken about it. I think I'm much more upset than he is. I spent most of the morning moping about it. Then, during break, Mariah (Our assistant stage manager/classmate for Theatre Appreciation/fellow Cappie/ probably my best friend in the theatre) came to talk to me. She invited me in the morning to go to a Nationals game tomorrow, and I said I didn't know if I could because I would be with guest. Later, I asked if she'd offer the ticket to anyone else yet. She automatically knew, and she hugged me and basically let me whine to her about it. And then promised me a wonderful day tomorrow. After today, I certainly need it. But I'm grateful to her and all the dear people around me for helping me along. Now, if you'll excuse me, Sara & Jess have promised me a Harry Potter marathon sleepover :)

Hooray for the band-aids in our lives <3
