busy people don't cry
My sister moved to the other side of the country, WAAAH. My brother left yesterday for deployment in Afghanistan, WAAAAH. I have looming fears of waking up with cancer, WAAH WAAH WAAH. Get it together, Sue. I've been a big ball of emotions lately, not a far cry (ha, pun!) from my day to day personality, since I tend to cry over most reality shows, and can't get thru the National Anthem of a Bruins game without welling up. [Go B's! Keep that streak alive !!!] I'll admit it though, I have been having a hard time looking at the bright side these days, and I need to snap the F out of it.
We all have our problemos, some smaller than others, but regardless - a shitty day is a shitty day. I'm all about a good cry/red wine combo from time to time, but I'm focussing on putting my energy into a more positive direction, and I encourage you to do the same! Whatever your struggle may be, it's all good, you're still alive, right?
So, what do I recommend you say? Do something you love. Stay busy. Do a puzzle. From what I can see via obsessive googling - the best way to get thru a deployment of a loved one is to stay super busy, and stay focused on their arrival home. As stated previously, my sign at the airport will be BOMB, but until I can get crafting on that, I'll find other things to fill my time with. If you're bumming over something like me, get your head on straight and quit your bitching. Happy people live longer. I just made that up, but it has to be true. I'm going to start painting more. I'm looking forward to getting the SO SUE ME SHOP open so that you can all treat your pals to some swag for the holidays - keep an eye out! Find your hobby and run with it. Or maybe you just need a really good song to brighten your day? Here's one that always puts a smile on my face...
You liked that didn't ya? Just give in to country already peeps, it's good for you.
After three nights of quarantine in my apartment with strep throat, I'm excited to be back out in the world of the living, even if it is a rainy day here in Beantown. I'm feeling not quite 100% but I'm re-energized and have some positive vibes going. Hopefully your week has flown by, and you've got some good stuff lined up for this weekend. I'm heading to Hoboken for a fabulous wedding of two great friends. Excited to reunite with some college besties, and crossing my fingers for ending the night with a shirtless (male) dance party like the good old days. It's almost Friday, guys. You can do it.
