As one or two of you are already aware, I've been having quite the week. Here's a brief rehash:
Monday: At around 10 AM someone broke my heart. At 10:15, someone ran into my office yelling that the roof was on fire. I grabbed my phone and jacket and ran outside. I shrugged it off, it was just a little smoke coming out of the corner of the roof. By 10:30, the entire building was engulfed and I got to watch the monitor I was chatting on 15 minutes earlier melting through the window. Firefighters arrived and used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the roof. Flames shot out. They had it under control by 2 PM, but there wasn't much left of the building. I haven't been back to work, or Chicago, since.
Tuesday: Woke up on my mom's couch. Worked on my car's brakes, I was waiting for a day to do them anyway. Went to Dan's house and played Vice City.
Wednesday: Woke up on Dan's couch. Drove out to Mineral Point to look at some art. 1/4 mile short of my destination, on a windy road in the middle of nowhere, a deer ran directly in front of my car and I hit her. Broke both her left legs. She crawled into the ditch and I drove up the road to a farmhouse (I was too remote for my cell phone to work), asked the farmer to call the sheriff. Farmer suggested I keep the deer for its meat. "I live in Chicago, am I supposed to take the deer carcass up the express elevator in my building?".. went back and waited for 45 minutes, all the while apologizing to this dying deer. Deputy showed up, shot deer 3 times, I gave story, surprisingly little damage to car. Hood wouldn't latch right. Bent it back right on the side of the road. Bought a gift for Mel. Returned to Mr. Naab's humble abode.
Thursday: Let us hope for the best
