Last night I had a bad twenty minutes after class. I got a paper back in which I felt he condescendingly made inaccurate grammar changes. I looked at the cake I'd made to find the frosting had melted while driving from home to school, making the words "happy birthday" unintelligible. I then realized I had no candles. I felt like a failure at school, cooking, and life in general. I got to the party (after hitting Wal-Mart for candles because I'm going to get something right, gosh darnit) and proceeded to drink more than normal for myself. If I hadn't had to drive, I was in the mood just to drink and drink.
Today has been better, but I'm going to sit and grade, sulkily, until something better comes along. Maybe I'll see a movie tonight. Maybe I'll drink more.
At least, I cleaned my desk.
