Having put off all day something I should have done Monday, I finally decide to not try to get to it before going to sleep (mainly cause my stomach was really hurting me). I figured I would get up in the morning and get it done, no problem. Of course, I wake up and the first sign of trouble is the internet is down. Okay, not a problem, the modem probably just needs resetting. While I’m eating breakfast the power goes. Hmm, could be a problem but it returns after a few minutes, so I’m not worried. Internet still down - no biggie - I’ll be able to focus better on my other tasks with no distractions (email, surfing, MSN…). Getting down to work and the progress isn’t bad. Phone call from pops to say modem needs new power supply so won’t be back up till in the afternoon. Excellent, a whole day to focus. Slugging away at my task only to see the power go again. Hmm, challenging but I save my work and prepare to print a copy of what I have so far so I can take it with me later and work from that. No such luck. My super-efficient UPS software kicks in shutting down my PC before I can even click on ‘Print…” Aaaargh!! Now I have to try to get on the road to go pick up money, drop off a tyre, go buy fabric, deliver fabric to dressmaker, then get back home where hopefully power has returned so I can finish working and print to head off to my class.

Granted, I managed to do all the above but it was not one of my better days. I’m not supposed to be stressed remember?
