I'm excited to work from home tomorrow. It means I get to sleep in a bit.
Loss is an epidemic, and everyone has caught one strain or another lately. Tonight was rough. Caity and I grabbed dinner alone, which gave me a chance to give her a present, but I soon found myself at a drug- and alcohol-free birthday party, listening to a bunch of people talk about a guy I never met who died the other night. I didn't like most of these people when they were three grades below me in high school, but I tried to suck it up and put on for Caity. It was obvious she needed the shoulder to soak, and a lot of the attendees were being disrespectful of her feelings.
I want the people I love to know I love them before they go into the ground. I think a lot of people realize that too late.
