A climax with silver linings

Don't mean to sound like a gult script writer but this happens to be my first post in a time under stRess. 2009 started with a dream to graduate, worries about the economy, and no resolutions as usual. I walk this Saturday with work bearing down my neck and I haven't even had the time to ponder over what is next in store.

I have a vague recollection of my last holiday and the last haircut. If not for the unwatched seasons on top gear I wouldve surely had a stroke for the amount of stress I've been under for the past few...Constant cursing at anything that tries to advice or suggest seems to have become routine. December was a roller coaster with few signs of hope that seems to have rekindled some faith that I will see this through.

After inheriting a vehice in return for something that someone owed, I was careless enough to catch a cops attention for not having driving insurance, registration or inspection. This is how the month began. With driving tickets that exhausted the printer paper in the copcar, I kicked myself for bringing it on myself again. The pimples on my forehead multiplied as the days progressed. Hours got longer with stuff linked to the car coupled with some annoying scuffles at the DMV left me hopeless.

Research progressed slowly as my tolerance for annoyance reduced. In the exhausted state I am in right now I have to mention that something extraordinary happened. I felt lucky. For just that 1 hour on a chilly evening where the weather opened up just that little bit, when I was multitasking with such ease that I amazed myself, and then lady luck seemed to favor every little step that I took. In almost a symphony of decisions I managed to get so many things done in so little a time even in the most dreadful of situations that I wondered whether a break was necessary. But then I just came back down to earth, had a couple of beers and almost sank into a well deserved sleep.
