So you know those days when nothing disasterous happens but it still feels like every little thing goes wrong? In spite of a couple BIG reliefs, it's been one of those days. After several nights of insomnia, I slept really well last night and woke up a little before eight. But there was no water coming out of any of the taps--I was certain my pipes had frozen, although I had left the heat running last night. I called my heater guys. Well, it turns out the pipes hadn't frozen--it was no big deal. But it was still really stressful. At that point, I decided I'd go into campus for a couple hours. I intended to wear my snow boots, but about half way there, I realized I was wearing these old Birkenstock clogs. I've had them for about 13 years, and the sole is all worn down--not good for walking across the icy parking lot. Also, I forgot to take my lunch with me. Once I got to work, I got an e-mail from the bookstore that one of the books I'd ordered was unavaliable; it was out of stock at the publisher. This would be no big deal except that classes start Tuesday. This was all especially annoying because moths ago when I picked books, I had all kinds of confusion over the particular edition / translation. The publisher's materials were incorrect, and it was a big pain just figuring out which translation was the one I really wanted. Oh, and I'm having cramps, so I feel just generally icky physically. And I have, like, zero appetite, which isn't necessarily bad--just weird. Anyway, although I'm so thankful that my water pipes didn't freeze (and subsequently burst!), it's still been one of those days.
