raybearmy friend Brian got me into some Fountains of Wayne songs. I listened to this one this morning and forgot how much I like it. Sometimes pop songs do mean something.....
Troubled Times
When you think you've found something worth holding onto
Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would refill your hands
How she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into your plans
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow
What you could never do
How she loved you
All you imagined
All the shit you put her through
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

I am so exhausted. I feel way better, illness-wise, but being laid out for 2 1/2 days sapped my energy, so I'm still sort of recovering from the commute to work. Climbing the stairs made my heart race and thankfully I got a seat on the train shortly after I got on, so there was not fainting. But I STILL feel wiped out, and it's been an hour and half! Glad I have an office job to sit on my ass. But I should hopefully be fine for the rest of the day, and then perhaps after another good night's sleep, I'll be right as rain tomorrow.
A few nights ago I switched sides of the bed with MelRo, because I anticipated getting up several times in the night for tissue and such. Now I feel attached to this new side. Little does she know that she's never getting it back. Oh wait, I guess she knows now. Maybe just a temporary switch to spice things up....
And Li__ got me a smashing xmas gift full of great cocktail wares which I can use on Saturday. She's so thoughtful and generous. I need to get cracking on shopping for her.
Thursday night is Sparky's bday celebration!! I need to do laundry and get all my black clothing in order for the outing....
