So does my t. What does he know?! Ive been waiting for the other shoe to drop all week. A couple of hours ago, we get an email from apartment management that the electric power will be off for a few hours for a repair. On like the hottest day of the year.

My chest gets all tight. I fill up a couple of water bottles and turn off the fans and lights and go lie down. I ALREADY slept twelve hours, a nap is not likely. I think, well a healthy person would leave and go see a nice cool movie, rent a car, do SOMETHING. Im all, well im not a healthy person, am i? I had PLANS (for chores) this afternoon. If i go out, ice cream will jump in my mouth.

45 minutes later, another email, electricity was never turned off, repair was performed anyway. I made coffee and im trying to get my heart started again! Maybe a 2nd cup of coffee will do it.

So my advice - the powers that be just want to see that youre at least THINKING of handling the situation better than your old ways, and they will reward you. Work WITH the magical thinking! Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater! So sayeth the church of unaluna
