Ok, today is not as good as yesterday...but I am still on an upswing...so, I'll take it, sold!  I got out today for a moment - only ventured a few blocks.  My hood is a hard place to roam without running into someone I know (yes even in big old New York City!).  I work with actors and this is a common "audition" area.  Took myself to dinner and ran into an old client that I was once very close with (as friends).  I have gained at least 30 pounds since I have last seen him and it is hard for me to fake that things are not so hot right now. He was with his wife (only been married a month) .  I teared up seeing them (ahhh - the bipolar swing).  As I asked for my check (they were sitting right behind me)....it was taken care of...they paid for me!  Of course...that totally made me cry.  I did not tell him what was up with me...only that I was going through a difficult time and was on a leave from work.  He had warm and extremely kind words for me.  I wanted to go hide.
