Here are a few movies that might take your mind off things....All of them are entertaining, some have wonderful messages, some are silly. They're all a change of pace from Star Wars.
Thanks, list is noted. :) We're not at a loss for funny comedies though, we have slews of them taped in the other room waited to be seen. We just never have a chance. Maybe we can get some watched in December when he goes on vacation.
It's really not Star Wars: ROTS's fault. It always did it before. The heart pounding excitement the space opera escape... I think it just can't today because I'm so sad I can't see beyond the tragedy that it truly is about.
I suspect if I tried to watch Titanic the same thing would happen, I would only see the dead people... not the heart of the film.
So it's obviously time to find a plan C. I wanted to see Valiant, but it went away from the theaters and doesn't come out till Dec. (sigh). But John's off tomorrow and maybe we can find something to do that works.
I don't want to preach again, so I'll just point you to [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=217422|this] post from about 3 months ago.
And I appreciate the reminder. At least though, mom and I are better. We're almost fixed. It's Katie and I who aren't. She wanted to talk to me yesterday at mom's house, and I didn't want to say no, then she starts screaming at me on the phone the minute I say something she doesn't like...
I didn't stop shaking for hours. I've had more panic attacks in the last few days than I've had for years. And I even almost beaned my car in the windshield with a huge railroad tie on my parent's driveway, because somehow the front tire hit the end of it (it lines the driveway) and it flipped straight up in the air in front of my car. Thank God it didn't hit me or the car, but talk about panic city after that.... sheesh. I had to calm down in order to drive home.
Then mom and dad had a car accident last night, so I was afraid it was all this stress. But dad insists it wasn't.
EDIT: At least no one was hurt, thank God, and no serious damages.
And then starting at 1:40 a.m. until 6:30 a.m., mom and I talked all night long, calmly, not fighting, but both of us near tears several times wishing we just knew what to do to fix this. But at least we're back on track with one another.
I was better a day ago, I was getting up at 9:30 a.m. again for the first time in months... I had a little spring in my step, I was singing to the birdie..
I just have to find that part of me again.
Hang in there. Make time for yourself and enjoy yourself for a change. :-)
Thanks, I'll try again. I honestly thought seeing my DVD would do it, but obviously it can't right now.
