When it rains, it pours like a mother effer

I dont even know where to start with today.  I woke up still pretty stunned over last night's SHOCKING situation with Hermes.  I also realized that today was the first day in a long time where I wasn't drowning in conference calls.  I decided to be optimistic and not get too sad over Herm... Ok, I cried really hard for like 30 mintues, but only once...

Unbeknownst to me, it started to rain. Not rain from the sky, but emotional cosmic rain from the Gods of "I'm going to ruin your effing life one moment at a time."  I really didn't see it coming.

Unaware of the shit storm brewing over my head, I made my way to Starbucks and ordered my favorite bevey, while gleefully explaining my empowered and positive mental state to my sister, Demeter... Hop back in the car, turn the key... and NOTHING. Not a peep.  Not a beep.  Just a slight ROLL BACK onto the edge of the little parking lot.   FML.  Shit storm is brewing... Fortunately, I had a friend available to try to resuscitate the car, and after that failure, drive me home.  Sometimes friends are good umbrellas during shit storms.

I was still somewhat optimistic.  I knew this crappy car was on its last leg, and it COULD have been worse!  It died at Starbucks, my place of salvation...

As my friend drops me off, I call Demeter again.  I'm FINE.  I can HANDLE this!  I'm AWESOME!  I am so glad my therapy is WORKING....

WAIT!!!!  Why is my laptop dead?  Actually, why do NONE of my lights come on?  FML.... SHIT STORM STILL BREWING...  My power is cut off.  Why? Because I am a dumb ass and didnt pay my bill for 2.5 months!  WHAT ADULT DOES THAT?!???!:??   Now that my power bill is $400 (no lie, 400 EFFING DOLLARS) I cant pay it until FRIDAY. 

I spent the remainder of the afternoon at the coffee shop - NOT Starbucks-- (which I walked to, of course, because I dont have an effing car) just to charge up my laptop and phone....

I now sit here BLOGging by candlelight.  It seems so romantic, but dont be fooled.

EFF THIS EFFING DAY....
