1.  Power surge in my house last night fried my TV, modem, Vonage, and kitchen lights despite having surge protectors.  So, I have replaced the modem, will be getting a new TV (as cheap as possible) today, Vonage is sending a new device, and I am calling an electrician to fix the kitchen lights.  All this after hours on the phone with various technical supports.  :(

2. Didn't sleep last night because I was dealing with issue #1 all night.
3. Feeling generally negative about life at the moment.  Seems everything just keeps going wrong and I can't get ahead.
4. 10 more days until DF arrives (that's the good thing).
5.  I just want to sit down and cry my eyes out, not that it will solve anything.  :\\\'(
I am the architect of my destiny.

I can totally relate to your #3 and #5, Dar.  But things are bound to get better.  It's good you have the visit from your DF to look forward to.

1) Ha!  Company left this morning!  Love my in-laws to pieces, but you know that feeling of relief when you've had house guests for awhile & then you have the house back to yourselves again!

2) Took a long Lush bubble bath - Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar slice (1/2 of one 'cos they're huge!).

3) Planning to either nap, watch a DVD film, or both this afternoon.

4) Looking forward to getting stuck in alone with DH for what remains of summer - seems like we've been on the go (all fun stuff though!) from one place to another since Easter, and then most recently having house guests.

5) The word for the weekend is RELAX!!!  (And we might do a walk tomorrow if the weather turns nice.)

I've just got up this morning and read my post above, and cannot remember what 'Sandra' said or did that made me go 'awwww'!   :-[

But it was a good night!  ;D
