I Think I Just Don't Like Evil, Russo-Finnish Grandmas.

By which I mean, AGH, my whole county had massive power failure brownout while I was, of all places, the mall. Yeah. Suddenly it was like being in a bad zombie movie. I got home, spent some time weeping and shaking because I do not do the unexpected well, but it's back on, THANK GOD. I love you, electricity.

Of course, it happened when I had JUST found a shirt I liked in Lane Bryant, which never happens. Now I just have to hope it'll still be there...hopefully tomorrow. We'll see.

Now I'm off to meditate and write, wish me luck!

There is unexpected and then there is UNEXPECTED. Strangely enough the lesser of the two is the one that gets to me more. Huge unexpected things - like getting caught in an epic thunderstorm with a tornado in it somewhere and 6 inches of rain in 20 minutes while driving with the kids in the car - seem to flip a switch inside and the Survivor thing happens. But little disasters just throw my whole day into the crapbag and I fall apart. o0

I know what you mean. Thank gods for that Survivor-switch thing, it's gotten me through lots of anxious situations...
