"Let there be light..." - December 28th, 2004

And five days later, there was light. Thank God my power finally came back on. I couldn't stand another night freezing or not sleeping in my own bed. It really makes you appreciate electricity when you've been denied it for 5 days in freezing temperatures. My apartment was even on the news the other night. It showed my street and my yard with all the branches lying around.

But lately, I don't know if its the weather or just me, but I've been stressed over stupid things. It just seems that one thing continues to happen right after another. It keeps building up inside of me. My car is acting up and I just found out that I have to make another trip home to drop off gizmo then head back to my sister's for New Year's. It doesn't seem like much, but once I get one thing taken care of, something else happend.

I cried last night because I couldn't get my hood closed on my car, and I cried this morning on my way to work when I found out I had to make an unscheduled trip home.

Here I am upset about stupid trivial things, and 70,000 people have just died because of a killer wave.

What is wrong with me?
