I've been told that "I'm happy for him" is actually an expression of jealousy; not sure I buy that totally (I mean, if my friend Jess won tickets to a hockey game up in Dallas and was really looking forward to it, I'd be happy for her, but not particularly wanting to go to Dallas to see the Stars this season, so it wouldn't be jealousy), but if it is, then that would be an extremely polite way of expressing it. > Sorry, just one of those things that will bother me for days. Or weeks. > > Kevin T. > Time for bed and nightmares. (I had some doozies last night) Sorry to hear that. I hope you have a nicer night's sleep tonight. (You've probably already started....) Julia
Yeah I was doing that. "That's great!" "Great for them." "No, truly, good job." Ah well, it's not as bad as I thought it be this morning. OTOH who knows what it will be like when I see them in person. I only mentioned it because it was such a kick in the chest. I haven't felt that bad in thirteen years.
I did had a nightmare. Something along the lines of the old "The Thing" but different in many ways. It was fun, like watching a TV show. In fact that's how it started, I was semi awake so sort of directing the action. But when I fell asleep it really took off. Wow. One of these nights I'll write this stuff down.
