Today was a good day. I like good days. Not only did I buy some much needed tights for 40% off but some sweet girl helped me feel good about all this waiting for the cows to come home that I have to do. She asked me why I wasn't gone already and I gave her the much rehearsed immigration explanation. Well, turns out her BFF did it (immigration) the wrong way and got in some real trouble, the trouble being that she could not leave The Land Of The Free for 4 whole years nor could she work during that time. Woof. Bet she didn't feel too free. And this girl knew what she was talking about. She started asking me about my petition, my affidavit, my interview- ohhh this was a good BFF who did a lot of research on behalf of her BFF.
So when I started feeling like a lonesome duck today I just let the lonely let itself all out. I knew there was nothing I could do about it and that we are doing things right. I let that loneliness out and I took a bath in it and I was actually okay by the end of it all. Those intense feelings. I tell you what- they sure make you feel like you are alive. It was like my whole heart was trying to burst out of my body and run across the boarder. I felt so human! Kind of like the feeling when you put your low grade prescription glasses on when you don't usually wear them and the leaves on the trees are all of a sudden so well defined and the blades of grass! Oh the blades of grass! It doesn't feel that nice though because it is still sad at the end of it all but the reminder of intense human emotion- it just does something to you.
So that was my day. Up, down, in, out, preposition. Now I say goodnight having skyped another lonely person in The Land Of The Free while listening to French love songs.
Bonne nuit les mignonnes*.
* Mme Emily- does that even make sense?
