Bad day

Well, today has been crap. Utter crap. No, nothing happened ~ no needless event, no bad news, no arguements, no bad email. The kid's even been pretty co-operative. Not once has she demanded 'Click' or 'Hostel' or 'Heroes'.

So I've been sick since the weekend. My throat is swollen to the point that it's almost closed, I have a permanent headache and I cannot eat much of anything because I have a virus on top of sinus problems.

I know I've been scarce, and you all have been tolerant of my absence because you know I am settling into my new job. Perhaps you may be wondering how it's going?

There are some good things. I am, as you predicted, learning. There is a lot to acquire; a great deal of information is crammed into my head on a daily basis. But at least I am beginning to internalize some of the details. I have accordingly enjoyed a few successes--small but significant to me, nonetheless. These show me that I am actually getting somewhere. I am making progress, which is always encouraging.

Today I'm full of sadness in my heart. Maybe its the day. Its windy and rainy here. Crocodile Hunter has passed on, I've been watching Home Makeover: Extreme Edition All day, so I'm crying my eyes out. Writing the story I did about my Grandmother dying from Cancer has gotten to me. I'm watching my baby sleep and he looks so peaceful and soft, so beautiful. Yesterday I got into a arguement with my Mother over the stupidiest thing... I'm a Foster Parent and seeing these children and knowing their stories rips my heart apart. Last night on MSNBC I watched a report on parents who hurt thier children for attention. I have so much to be happy about, but today I can't find myself to be Happy.

My car broke down about a mile away from my house tonight. I knew it was about time for something to happen. But it doesn't owe me anything, as it is 13 years old. We've had some good times, me and that car, but I am ready to let it go. The air doesn't work. The horn works occasionally. It stalls often. It sounds like an airplane...I've been eyeing a yellow beetle for months now. I've already moved on in my mind. Anyway, I can afford the payments on a different car, I just need one of my parents to co-sign. That is the tough part.

If anyone is having a tough time of things, or even just a bad day, I'm here to tell you: Just Keep On Keepin' On!

Oh, what a difference a day can make. Whether it's a bad day with kids or a spouse, or a bad day at work, or a fight with a friend, blowing your diet, whatever, it's just one day. Tomorrow is another day, and more than likely, it will be better. Perserverance is key. If you just keep at it, and keep giving it your best each day, then that's all you can do, and all you are expected to do.

A small scooter wala in India starts his life early in the morning with lot of hopes; however in the end everything is same. Recently I am being transferred from Moradabad to Ludhiana. It provides me lot of opportunity to travel through lot small scooters. This scooter can take three people at a time; however they are molded in Indian style to accommodate nine people. They charge approximately $0.1 from each passenger. They are easy way of travel for places inside the city.
