The past couple of weeks have been terrible. My Honda's brake pedal went soft on me. It turned out to be some master cylinder problem that cost me $200. My refrigerator went dead on me Friday. Repair guy is not coming til Monday. I googled and think it's a fuse problem and likely repair will be to replace the entire control board. I ran into trouble trying to return a couple of unopened, unworn HeatTech tees to Uniqlo (they are supposedly non-returnable "inner wear" items) and stood there for five minutes arguing with the sales clerk til she gave in. My iPhone battery is acting really wonkers. I got into a thing with one of my coworkers, who's been annoying the hell out of me with her overbearing inquisition. I have a work project that is huge and complicated and problematic and is making my stomach queasy. I have another presentation to do this coming Thursday, and that is making my stomacch even queasier. My boss is asking me to train a new employee who is coming on board in a few weeks, but I think it's a waste of time because his resume clearly shows he is not a good fit for our group. I asked her why we are picking this person up, and she gave me this look and said, "We have no choice, so let's leave it at that." I have been waiting for over two months for my insurance to authorize a new type of orthotics for me. And I have been waiting for my order of new glasses to arrive for more than two weeks, and yesterday afternoon, my doc called and said they arrived but there was some quality control issues so they had to send them back for a re-do. I know these aren't necessarily world-class tragedies, but when you add them all up, they just make your life feel out of sorts. I really just haven't been in sync lately. I really think the moons must be misaligned or something. Can I get out of this cycle already?
But I need to be optimistic. The good thing is, every day you wake up, you get a chance to make things better, or new good things can happen. Sure, it's not likely going to be the case, cuz you don't just wake up a new person in the morning. But still, it's a chance, and a chance is all you need. Just like the lottery.
So how about some American Authors:
