Hate the sin...
It's been a long, tiring week. The weather for one thing - hot like it normally gets in August (upper 90s) and humid, then today more thunderstorms and rain. Very depressing and draining. Then I got into it with one of the guys at work last night - and I don't know where that even came from! Like lightning on a clear day. And of course, the debacle over on DS.
I've been thinking about that whole thing a lot - not just the overall nastiness, but about the person behind it. I don't know her - all I know are her actions and words. And that's not the whole person. As I said over on DBC, I, like Tracy, pity her. I can't help but wonder what happened, what went wrong, that turned what should have been as we jokingly referred to as a "cruise fantasy" into a way of life - filled with venom and paranoia. Not that I would ever *ever* condone what she's done. But at the same time, it makes me stop and think. Think about things I've done or said that I would love to take back, re-do. Some things can't be undone, the pain caused can't be wiped clean with an apology. But as they say, every day is a new beginning. Sometimes it's just hard to recognize that, take advantage of it. And damned hard to make changes that have become a way of life.
I know. What a bummer of a post...

You're a northern lass, you should be able to drink me under the table.
With tea you'd easily do it - don't like tea (unless it's clipper green tea with lemon)
