things could definitely be worse...

[fictional]

• i have no more internet at home because i haven't paid my bills, and see no way of doing so in the forseeable future.
  
• the long distance phone is likely to go the same way soon.
  
• i have a painful lymph infection that appears to be draining its way down my leg. i've been instructed to stay off my feet and watch movies, check for fever every 2 hours, and generally freak out all over the place. (without moving too much) oh, and take really powerful antibiotics that will probably leave me sicker than i was before. and diminish the capacity of my birth control pills to, well, control birth for the next two weeks.
  
• taxes and financial aid are due very very soon.
  
• i have to find an apartment for next year.
  
• my european trip has been curtailed, due to unavoidable circumstances. still going to study in Rome however, which is great, except it means i now have to find a flight from Rome to London so that i can fly back.
  
• grrrr.

sorry to be so boring, but i'm in a "feh!" kind of mood.
