Here comes the sun

What a day. I woke up late and had to get a taxi into work. Ouch. The server went down in the office for the third day running, so I didn't get much done. My dad's in hospital because he's having trouble swallowing (we don't know why yet, so no point in being emo about it). I had to get a taxi from work, so called a private hire cab and went downstairs to meet the car. I got soaked in this sudden... monsoon that left me drenched in seconds, in howling winds, and the stupid cab didn't turn up. I hailed a hackney and had to pay an arm and a leg to get to hospital. The private hire cab rang twenty-five minutes after they said they'd be there in a minute. Fuck you, Delta cars. Never, ever using you again.

[burnt too many times.]

So, it took me hours to feel warm and human again and I'm sitting here scrolling through the news when I come across this video. It's made by a charity who rescued 72 beagles from a laboratory that was being shut down in Spain. They would've been destroyed otherwise. Instead, here they are, seeing sunlight and putting their paws on the grass for the first time ever in their lives:

It's a lovely video with a very happy ending, but I cannot stop crying. It puts my own stupid troubles into perspective. ;_;
