crushed

well... this has been a day of highs and lows.

i had a very discouraging conversation (or rather, had to listen to a very discouraging conversation) last night with some folks who have a very different worldview than me. it just sucked all my hope and made me want to give up on life :S

THEN, i had an alright time at work, which made me feel i could last there a little while longer there.

THEN, brendan and i got a stove for our downstairs kitchen and had A DICKENS of a time getting it in the house and down the stairs. i think we successfully broke it in three or four different places, and almost died twice. nothing like saving a few bux by moving it yourself and then wishing you could pay twice its value for to go back in time.

THANKFULLY, i made some significant progress with two other big projects this afternoon/evening. éamon took the bus home with his nana for dinner so i could make up for the lost time caused by the stove.

so now that the day is nearly done, i can confidently say that despite several set backs, today a success :)
