Happiness is ...

apocalypsos... flipping through the channels and finding surprise Aldis Hodge on a Castle rerun. YAY.
So, yeah. I've felt like absolute crap all day long, and I was wondering if I'd eaten something wrong, and then I noticed the date and was like, "... oh." Which meant a quickie run to the store fifteen minutes later because I was almost out of tampons.
Hearing about all of the stuff coming out of SDCC is depressing me more than usual. I've been to Dragoncon, I've been to Wincon, I'd love to go to Writercon and Comic Con but at the rate I'm going I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I miss getting to go be around fans and being giddy about shows and seeing all kinds of awesome stuff, and part of it boils down to seeing actors and writers at panels and watching new pilots and vids and whatnot, and part of it is having a lot of fun just being able to pack a bag and go, you know?
On the somewhat bright side, at least I'm not the poor woman Dr. Baden's talking to on the show I'm watching. Three of her babies died, one a few years back and a pair of twins one night two years afterwards, all of them sleeping in the same bed with her, and she emailed Dr. Baden for answers, and now he's telling her that the first one was probably SIDS, but the twins were probably an accidental rollover and suffocation in her sleep. And now she's sobbing and talking about how research says you should sleep with your babies to bond with them and I've seen pretty much all of these Autopsy shows but I don't think I've ever been this uncomfortable. Good heavens.
I have to work on editing The Grand Prize Winner sometime tonight. My goal is to get to chapter seven today, and hopefully to get up to chapter ten tomorrow. It would be really nice if I could get as much done as possible before Old Home Week starts this week. I have a feeling I'll be dragging my netbook along to the family reunion party on Saturday mostly to avoid having to deal with people. I already feel like the odd woman out without piling the unemployment and loneliness on top of it. *sigh*

Poor woman.
