I just finished the most recent episode of This is Us. This was the first episode this season that got me.

@maueraa07 Ahh! I have to watch tomorrow. Friday is my catch-up day.

DH agreed to get bdubs tonight. I've been craving it for sooo long but we've been so good about not going out to eat. I may have shed a tear or two when he brought it home.

@maueraa07 yes!!!! Thank you. I cried during the entire episode. My bff texted me to say she thought the episode was meh. But maybe because I’m pregnant it hit me harder than her. But gah. The monologue at the end with Rebecca. Gah!!!! Tears. Tears!!!!!!

We got word that FIL’s kidney transplant is a go...scheduled for next month. This is his 2nd transplant (first one failed) and this involves BIL donating a kidney in a multi person swap and I found all this out while on a bus with 60 other women I don’t know. Lost my ish when I found out and it’s been a lot more worry than relief today. I’m super glad and grateful that God’s giving us another chance but it’s been rough. Hormones are not helping.

@beans17 wishing them all a speedy recovery and no rejection this time.

Yes to the This is Us. Started crying when the baby is born and also when Rebecca is talking and introducing herself. All the feels

I'm almost caught up on This is Us. I just started watching it about a month ago, so I'm gearing myself up for the water works!
Wow, @beans17. Hope everything goes well.
I follow NatGeo on Instagram (seriously an AWESOME account to follow), and stumbled across a photo of a young refugee from Afghanistan suffering from a fever...which brought me to the specific photographer's account. He photographs the conditions at refugee camps throughout the Middle East. His photos freaking destroyed me. It also hits close to home because the school I teach at has a pretty large population of Syrian refugees and I have taught beginning English to these kids for the last four years. My students are not very open about their experiences, but when they do open up...my gosh it's heartbreaking. And then to get a visual of it. I'm a wreck!

Christmas music. That is all.

Thank you sweet friends! I'm happy that transplant is happening, but there are definitely moments when the gravity of the situation is rather overwhelming. 

@ryannenikole - I totally get it. Of all things, the Hallelujah Chorus gets me. Every. Time. 

ETA: Grammar - sometimes its a struggle.

Cleaned the cat nursery today and all the baby kittens got me all teary eyed.

I saw The Color Purple musical onstage last night. By the second song in where *SPOILER* Celie has to give up her baby, *end spoiler* I was a blubbering mess.
