It's been a rough week. The Internet went down an hour before I got back from northern Idaho. My car has started to wheeze on uphill climbs again. My computer gave me another I'm-dying-and-I'm-gonna-take-all-your-stuff-with-me scare. While the running water in my apartment has been fixed, the heat is running at half power. Then, at 10:30 last night the Internet went out. The time is important because it's too late to contact management but early enough to be extremely inconvenient and because it was Friday, it could take a couple days to get back online (management can be hard to get ahold of on weekends). The only place I can type this from is Idaho Falls, an hour away from my place in Pocatello. But I needed to come to Idaho Falls anyway, so that's not as bad.

Eel has had a rougher week than me. About when I was leaving to return here, she started coming down with a cold. The timing on this was particularly bad because she was scheduled to take a very important medical test over the weekend. The test is important enough that they use cameras to make sure students don't cheat. Another anti-cheating policy they have is no matter how sick you are and how freely your nose is running, you can't take a kleenex in to the testing area. Definitely worse than my week.

But right now I'm in Idaho Falls because I had to come up for a funeral. It was not unexpected, but when the parents found out three months ago that the child wouldn't last but maybe a day or two out of the womb, they carried it to term in hopes that it might breathe life for just a little bit. It was stillborn.

Things with Eel and things with myself are pretty good right now, y'know?
