I pass, like night, from land to land;
I have strange power of speech;
Too much happening all at once. My car died on me out of state last week and I had to wait 12 hours before my wife could get there to pick me up. The car is not worth the cost of repairs, so it's being sold for parts, which means...I am without a car once again. We're looking for a replacement, but no telling how long that will take. I have a huge stack of bills to pay which always bums me out. Money goes out faster than it comes in. Looks like I'm going to have to sell a few items to pay the darn bills down. My student is due in an hour, so I have to prepare for that, more mentally than physically. Tomorrow I have to go out of state again (using the wife's car) for a medical appointment. The bathroom remodeling people are coming Friday to take final measurements and test for lead paint. Given the age of the house, it's possible. I've gotten so used to my days being housework and Internet that last week and this week seem like they're terribly busy. I think it's my mood. Ever since the car died I've been a little depressed, so everything seems like a big deal. I hope I snap out of this soon! Too much to do that I don't have time for moodiness. stressed
That moment that his face I see,
I know the man that must hear me:
To him my tale I teach."
