so many things
things just seem very crazy right now. they're not really, but they seem like they are.
bad things happen sometimes. for instance, the water heater in your apartment could break. and that's unpleasant because you can't shower, or even brush your teeth. but you suck it up because things aren't really that bad. or, perhaps your computer crashes for the second time in several months even though this is an entirely new computer. or, you're so strapped for funds that you either pay a doctor bill or you pay all of your bills for the month.
and maybe, at some point during all of this, you begin to wonder when things are going to start looking up, and when you see that there is absolutely no chance of that occurring anytime soon, you start to get a little upset.
today was that day for me.
but, i was reminded that i do have a lot to be grateful for... like "the apprentice" and "ed." and a boyfriend that reminds me that i have to calm down sometimes. and even though the water heater was broken for most of the day, i do have a nice place to live. and i go to a good school (a school of national champions at that). and someday (::crosses fingers::) i will have a good job. and my very own house (to decorate! yay!). and a family that i am proud of. and a kitchen aid mixer. and then i will be happy.
so i guess now doesn't look that bad when i see what i have and everything this is ahead.
but i'm still allowed to have a bad day on occasion.
