Hard Times
Things right now are going very badly for me. Here is a short list, in no particular order:
- I have no working toilet in my house.
- I have several exams and papers due this week.
- My poor wife has been injured or sick for several weeks and I am powerless to make her feel any better.
- My email seems to work only around 50% of the time.
- Cox Cable switched from the national PBS high-definition feed to the local one, and now I don’t get the same programs; other programs I like show at different times; the signal looks much worse; and I will now have to endure the frequent pledge drives, which the national feed doesn’t carry.
- I still haven’t got my motorized bicycle running.
- I changed guitar strings a few weeks ago, and now my Telecaster won’t stay in tune with itself.
- My guitar makes an annoying buzzing sound because the outlet my amplifier is plugged into isn’t grounded.
- I cannot stop eating Girl Scout Cookies and I feel guilty.
- I have a million chores to do around the house and very little time to do them.
- I have to read hundreds of pages for school, and I am not up to the task.
- I am very tired, and it’s only nine o’clock in the morning.
- When I am at school, I cannot concentrate on what my professors are saying, because I am thinking about one or more of the above.

Sorry to hear all that at once. This too shall pass. Hope M feels better soon!
