Making Lemonade Kind Of

[lodessa]

So this morning (remembering how useless I was on Tuesday due to exhaustion) I decided to give not getting up at 3:45 and getting a ride with Jeremy and instead getting up at 6:30 to catch the 7:20 bus and then walk a couple miles a try again. I got up at 7:30 instead. Still I figured I just needed to persist. I got dressed and my stuff together and was there in plenty of time to reach the 8:20 bus (god I hate break schedule). Unfortunately I was reading on the bus, lost track of where we were and accidentally got off really early. And I couldn't even just continue in the path the bus was going because the sidewalk disappears there. The next bus wasn't for another hour. So I had to backtrack a little (I had gone all the way east (in fact too far east) and still had to go south. I walked back west to a road that I knew went in the right general direction (despite curving back east) and started to walk south. I kept searching for a better option that would not take me further out of my way and found it in a road I knew intersected a bunch of the more direct north-south roads. Better yet, I took a chance on a greenbelt that I suspected would lead me right through the housing developments to within a block or two of my work and it actually led me right to my parking lot. So I was an hour late, but considering I didn't leave the house until I was already supposed to be here and that I messed up so badly it is not so bad. Especially since I think that the way I went might actually be better than the one I had planned on. All things considered I am seriously considering just walking to work in the future. I don't think it would take any longer than the hour early I need to leave for the bus method and I really do need more exercise.

Wow, that sounds complicated, and yeah, exercise is always good, and if you walk you don't have to pay for the bus ^__^

Yes. Luckily the bus isn't too expensive, but still better to exercise and save money.

Yep Yep

*squeak flail* I love your icon. I always loved that scene.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I love it too. It really establishes their dynamic (which I love a lot) so well.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I loved watching them hang out it was just so cute ^__^

That's the saddest part about when Tara and Willow break up in some ways, for Dawn it's like her parents getting divorced all over again.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and it also made her finding Tara so much more painful, because she comes home and no one is there and she finds Tara and she's just left there with her and no one comes back for hours, and I think that was almost sadder than Willows reaction (Though I am not sure I am remembering it correctly)

So much is horrible about that section, but yes that's horrible and reminiscent of Buffy's findinf Joyce in The Body.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yes it is rather, but I think in a way it's almost worse, because Joyce had been sick before, where as Tara's death was just so random. Also, I think it hit me more because I loved Tara and Dawn more than I ever loved Buffy. Joyce was amazing though.

(Sorry this comment is so overdue, I have been meaning to reply for forever.)

Wow...I've had many moments like that. At least you are looking in a positive way at it.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've learned that otherwise you just make it worse. That's not to say I didn't have a point where I was feeling utterly defeated and like I wanted the earth to swallow me up.
