Allow me to recap my day for you...

This morning, I take my shower and notice that cold water was leaking from under the tub... something that I spent a week with a friend of mine trying to stop from happening ever again in the month of November. I thought "Oh well, shit happens I guess." And began to wonder just how long I could procrastinate about getting it fixed. So then I get in my car and head to school...

On my way to school, one of my tires blows out. See, I picked up a nail over the weekend and since the leak was really slow, I didn't notice it until I'd driven about 20 miles on the tire. I got the leak plugged, but unfortunately the tire itself was too damaged to hold up... so I put the donut on the car and think to myself "Well, I'll just pick up the refund from the class I dropped and pay for a new tire with that."

I get to school, and go to the cashier and guess what, they don't have my check. This means I'll have to withdraw more money from the bank this month and incur a freakin' penalty because I've gone over my monthly limit... so I give my mom a call to ask if I can borrow some money until next month... and when she answers the phone, she sounds very sad. My grandmother (her mother) was going into surgery today to remove an growth in her eye... and she died during the administration of the anestisia.

I need a hug.

Hug, man. A manly, buddy-type hug, of course.

Wish I could say something to make it better.

*BIG HUG*

I had a shitty day yesterday, but your day makes mine look like fun. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. :(

Sorry man, I hope things work out for you. Every bad day I ever had now seems like... er... a good day.

I always get upset when I hear about people dying during the administration of anestisia, becuase it just doesn't make sense. It's always sad to lose anyone anyway though. The last person I knew that died was this guy that was a powerline worker who was coming to church a bit. He was a nice guy, origionaly lived in Canada and had his own family up there, but was working down here on a job. One day, while he was working on the lines, he got electricuted. Was suposed to be a normal day, but...

He was also going to come to our thanksgiving diner.
Needless to say, we were confused and upset about it all, but definatly not more so than his family. We called them several times and talked about what was going on.

Er... anyway, I guess im tryin to say, he wasn't my grandmother or anything, just another person, but people die. And the living suffer. It's getting over it thats living.

Hope you feel better soon!

***Big burly bear hug for Drexle.***

There's nothing worse than having every single thing go wrong for you all at the same time. One problem sucks and two is awful but three that's just wrong and evil. Also the third being as sad as it is. I'm just sorry you had to go through it all in one day.

Just remember that eventually things will look up again.
You have to go through a storm to see a rainbow.

*blows kisses*

I wish there was something I could do. I don't have any money. I don't have supernatural powers to bring people back to life. The only thing I have are kisses to blow. So I offer thee this in hopes that it forms a smile upon your heart.

I got this good karma from a few lifetimes ago. I was saving it. It's in a box and winging its way to you, my friend. It will rain down over you tonight and help you see the long road and the good things ahead.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Days like this are inevitable, unfortunately. My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family.

Buck up, young camper, and keep in mind that you will have few days as bad as this in the future...

Sorry, man.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

*big back slapping hug*

there not much I can say Drex, everyone's already said it, I'm sorry for your shitty day and for your family's loss.

You have to treat days like that one as eye-openers, they wake you out of your normal "get up - go to work" routine and remind you that you still have a life to live, and yes, it is ending one crappy comic at a time.

I have been chosen to protect the hevenly poultry.

I want to thank you all, yes even this mysterious cockmaster did something to make me chuckle. I don't know if he/she meant to or not, but still...

Thing is that's only the half of it... my whole immediate family has been through a lot lately. These past seven or eight days have been really hard on all of us, but I think yesterday was just a real special present for me. Don't worry, I don't want to talk about my family problems, just had to tell someone about my day.

At least I can say that things aren't *all* bad in my life. In fact, as odd as it is, I think something really good decided to happen in my life at about the same time as this did. Eh, the timing of everything is very surreal.

That's a hardcore bad day right there. I'm sorry, man.

I agree with the people who said that that really puts what I'd thought was a bad day in perspective.

Your mentioning that something good happened at the same time made me think of a phenomenon I've observed from time to time -- momentous events seem to have a way of coinciding like that. Like, you'll go three months in a perfectly ordinary routine, and then in one day a dozen different things happen.

I think it's days like that that show us our real strength as human beings -- the fact that we can work through all of it and still go on living and being the same people.

Not sure if I'm making any sense.

Anyway, you have my sympathy -- all of our sympathies, I'm sure -- and I'm also sure that things will be okay in the long run.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Over the course of the last month, two friends broke up with their boyfriends, I got rejected by the girl I like, and my friend in America went home from Uni to find one of her grandparents had died. And that's just the start of it.

However, none of this compares even slightly to that one day you had, Drexle. And even though I'm a bloke, here..

*hug*

You have my sincerest sympathies. And from someone who's had similar days in the past, rest assured that it will get better. Honest.

Anyway, hello everyone! I'm back!

*HUG*

I had day like that once, where I found out I flunked on maths, I come home and I find my grandma has died in hospital. (This is bad as a family friend had died the previous day).

Sure, I'll take that.

(Curses silently that I missed a big out on Gabe's big gay hug)

Thanks everyone once again who offered sympathies. It means a good deal to me to hear them... I don't feel quite as bad now as I did on Teusday, but I sure do miss my grandmother. She lived about a two minute walk from me, so I saw her often and was close to her.
