I helped an old lady cross the road. It's real. It really happens.

^^ Merry Christmas from the biggest freaking sign in the world.

^^ That's me.

I did it. I made it. It is (was) Saturday. Thank the skies above. I had to remind myself every hour of every day that ALL THINGS MUST COME TO AN END. And this last week in November would not be exempt from that. I'm dragging my feet guys, and I've still got halfway to go.

So I did indeed help an old lady cross the road, two roads in fact. I feel like I've found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or like, seen a unicorn. It's all so surreal. I never caught her name, which I feel silly for, but she does have 6 titanium screws in her ankle and a metal plate, is currently waiting till her ankle heals to receive a double knee replacement, and is legally blind in both eyes. She asked me to walk with her since the cars are impatient and she walks quite slow, wary that she'll walk out in front of cars even though the cross walk clicks while you're able to walk across. Of course I happily obliged, what was I going to do? Say no? What am I? A savage? A puppy killer? 

In other news, at least I have Karly. Below is the most prominent quote in my mind, of the many made, from her during our miniature Saturday excursion to the mall.

We had just completed the fastest impulse buy ever to be recorded (by myself) of two mini cups of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. While walking back to the other grocery store to meet our mom, Karly says:

"Now we either have to walk fast or hold it up to our hearts to keep them cold."

I'm ... is that... what. She is my child. Even though she's not. But she is my sister, and at some points in life, I believe I raised her. Hence the fact that she believes our hearts to be cold. That was definitely my doing.

AND THE HAPPIEST NEWS OF ALL.

I got my hair cut today and SHE DIDN'T SPEAK TO ME THE WHOLE TIME. It was so glorious, so enjoyable, such a treat. I simply had my hair washed in silence, and contemplated my own thoughts while she snipped away, only asking the necessary questions, and then leaving me to myself. Wow. It was .. I can't even explain to you how much I enjoyed myself.

I know you're thinking "Wow, and you're not enjoying being banished to another country where you're constantly in complete, uninterrupted solitude?"

NO I'M NOT BECAUSE AT SOME POINT I NEED GENUINE HUMAN INTERACTION FROM ALL THOSE I HOLD DEAR AND MOST OF THEM HAPPEN TO BE 10,000 MILES AWAY.

K I'm fine really.

One of these days, I'm going to post a very well thought out, fulfilling post that isn't so patchy and empty. 

BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY.

I've never actually seen that movie.

*sigh* Help. My brain is so full of nothingness. I feel like I'm losing smartness. The smart isn't working in my head any more. I DON'T HAVE THE SMART TO BE THINK SMARTLY AND WRITE GOODLY. *insert 500 million pajillion crying face emojis*
