Because sometimes, after a day that tests your patience and temper to its limit, you really do just need to drop everything and feast on comforting and delicious shrimp pad thai with one of your best friends (using a buy one get one free coupon, of course) and then go shopping at Macy’s and buy two pairs of super cute yet practical and badly needed clearance/store closing shoes funded by a generously donated gift card. And then you take a deep breath and realize your headache is gone, and you feel a million pounds lighter, and calm and grateful and loved that you have such wonderful people to share life with.
Cider agrees. But Cider did not have pad thai. Cider had bloodworms.
