Tonight is two nights after Thanksgiving. I went to the grocery store, and it was almost empty, aside from a handful of couples. Everyone else had people to be with. I didn't expect it to hit me so hard, but it's been hours and my stomach is still cramped up, can't breathe.

So here's my question. On nights like this, is it better to hide indoors, so I don't have to see that? But that's cowardly, isn't it?
