Happenings

1. Shroud of depressive moodiness - lifted, folded and (I'd like to think) thrown away but know that its only tucked away for future use

2. Copious weeping when Virigina Tech is mentioned - stopped but not done. I think now I am going the Jon Stewart route of dealing with crippling news.

3. Copious drinking when anybody mentions wedding, marriage, planing or even food - Done. I am so over it.
No
I lie.
In my head, I want to be sooo soo over it. I want to be one of those extremely suave women who are unaffected by things and move on in joy, happiness and all that rubbish.
I go through phases of worry, suave joy, depressive ranting, worry, suave...

4. News of boy's visa - Nothing.
Everytime the USCIS puts out a press release about the H-1, I go through paroxysms of hope and what if scenarios
'so if they say 'H1 visas trimmed', does that mean boy's visa didn't get through lottery' or 'if they say boo, does that mean his visa got through lottery' of if this leaf falls, does that mean boy is getting it?
I ache for concrete news but like the venerable M.L said "you have to kadiche-pidiche (hold in and sit tight?) ... on your desire for a decision for a couple of weeks"
Sigh

5. New Google Obsession - Aishwarya Rai and Junior Bachchan wedding.
At some point, I should stop looking for what she wore - never mind him with the beard and all.
Several reasons for inane googling:
I get why silly Hindi movies are so popular - because really, life is too bloody real for me to pay to watch somebody going through the same angst as I. Give me fantasies and princess weddings so I can escape for a while.
Also,
Looking at Aishwarya Rai's wedding finery, makes me berserk with wanting to become skinny which sparks furious working out sessions which makes me feel better and calmer
Hence the googling.

5. Activities involved - furious working out sessions in order to not collapse at 4 mile run this weekend.
The many dreams I had of really running course in 12 mins or so when I signed up for it in Feb.
Now, I'll be lucky if I can slowly jog walk it.

So, all in all, I think I am moving on from doom and gloom of last week.
