Sat, May 8
... Keep on surviving
Do you have a Mother's Day present yet? I don't. I'm at the mall, supposedly looking for something, but I can't find anything. Not yet, anyways.
Two big things in the past few days, and I can't talk about either one yet. Right now, they're both only vague possibilities, but my mind is racing at a hundred miles an hour, trying to comprehend it all. "What if"-ing at an alarming rate. Jumping to more conclusions than it has any right to think about.
We'll see. I'm sure that if anything comes of either one of them, you'll hear about it. But, you know, it's one thing to jump to conclusions in my own head; it's another story altogether to share them with someone else.
I tried to get out of the habit of doing that a long time ago, when it started to make me look dumb when things didn't turn out the way I thought they might! Heh. It's just so much easier to wait until something's a done deal, because otherwise, everyone else starts jumping to conclusions and making assumptions, not just me, and that just gets messy.
This could be big. Could be. It could turn out to be nothing, too, and I'm not sure which I'd rather have it be.
Oy. This is why I like facts. It's so much easier to speculate when you have them all. When you don't, the situation just gets so blown up in your mind that it couldn't ever be that close to reality, no matter how much you wanted it to be.
On a completely different note, hockey fever has hit this city. I'm at the computer kiosk in the mall, and there's a TV with TSN on beside me. Every few people, someone will stop to watch, and see what's on. Usually, not that many people stop and look.
I really need to find a good present--my mom's birthday was on Thursday. Sucks for her--she gets a "combined gift" every year. But you know, when they're only a few days apart, it's just that much easier.
Suggestions?
