OT My crappy crappy day

["b clark" <bmeka@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This day is almost over and I am so glad. Today was my 44th birthday and
all I can say is it sucked so bad. I hope to never repeat it. It started
out with minor suckage - my mom was feeling too well so she kept me most of
the night - she finally settled down around 5am this morning, but I
somewhat
used to that, so it only made me tired, Then my email decided to go bluey
and not let me download messages because it got stuck in a loop on one
screwed up email and I had to delete all my messages off the server to get
it unstuck. But the kicker for the day - the one that made it truely
horrible - was getting the phone call at 11 am informing us that my aunt
died. It wasn't that the news was unexpected - it wasn't, she was 91 years
old and had been getting progressively weaker for the last few years until
we had to put her in a nursing home because we couldn't take care of her at
home anymore, it was just not the kind of news one wants to associate with
your birthday. The only bright spot I have had all day was the fanfic that
was posted, so to all authors out there - Thank you for my birthday
presents
that you graciously gave me and I selfishly ask for more
bonnie.
