I can’t be funny today.

I can’t be inquisitive or creative today.

I can only survive.  I can only keep walking.  Keep breathing.  Keep trying.

Last week I wanted to post this great peice about Thanksgiving and how we can come together and celebrate as a nation and humanity what we have.  But I couldn’t.  It didn’t feel…true.

I’m looking from the wrong side of the window this week to talk of hope and happiness.

So instead, of that noise, these are the things I’m looking forward to:

• Furiously Happy book signing in Santa Cruz.  I get to meet Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess, go read her.  Right now.)
• Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens.  The 12 year old in me is crying already.
• Colder weather.
• Doctor Who Christmas Special.  Because River Song.
• Downton Abbey  in January.  Don’t judge.
• Sleep.  I don’t know when this will happen, but I am so excited for when it does.

In the meantime, I’m drinking tea and trying to make it one more day.
