Real life stuff

Yay! I don't have to attend Hubster's dinner tonight so I will get to see 'Prison Break' and 'Heroes.' I'm very happy about that.

Bad news is his boss rescheduled the dinner thing(it's just the boss taking them out as a thanks for their good work type thing) for Friday. Um, no. That's not going to work for either of us. Friday is March 9th.

A.J. would have been one, so no going out for us. I don't know what we'll be doing though, besides lots of grieving, though I do that pretty much everyday anyway.

I am not looking forward to it. I'm jittery and anxious already. I wonder if anyone in my family will call? They don't call much. My dad calls to check on me and one of my cousins. Aunts? Brothers? Other cousins? Not so much.

I'm thinking of renting some funny movies.

If anyone calls, look at it this way: they care about and love you. They know in their hearts that nothing they say will really make you feel better, but they still want to try.

Yeah, a check up call would be nice. I could pick up the phone and call them but I always feel like I'm interrupting them or something. Me and my family have a weird relationship, just like thousands of families.

You should absolutely stock up on funny movies. Get a bunch of comfort ones that you know by heart and some new ones.

Sometimes it's not bad to throw a tear-jerker in there as well, just to get it out.

I'm thinking Madagascar because I love those penguins.

I think I leave crying to the last because whenever I do I get a headache. I should cry when I feel like it but it freaks my kids out then they try and comfort me and that makes me cry more.

I like Rat Race too. The one with Whoopi in it is hilarious.

By funny movie, do you mean 2Fast2Furious?

[kelly-girl.livejournal.com]

Hee. That's coming on tomorrow on USA. I might rent a PW movie or two.

Lots and lots of hugs. Let me know if I can do anything to cheer you up.

I've found that the days leading up to Elliot's actual birthday (and death day) are usually harder than the day itself. Even if you try and not *dwell* on it your body just knows.

I try to think I will do something moving and profound...but as I recall, that first birthday after he died I was in grim, numb, somehow get through it mode. I think I re-posted an old LJ post from when he was with us that expressed just how much I loved him.

It will be hard but nothing harder than what you went through already. Just do what you can do, don't fret about what you think you should do. (For examle I wanted to publish a touching tribute in the paper but it just did not happen so I did it for the second year)

Please know that I'm thinking of you.
