whaaa happened?

after a relatively decent weekend in which i actually got some sleep, i unfortunately encountered a host of things i would rather not have, which was a crappy way to end the weekend.

hockey on sunday night is my safe place - i can go see my friends, laugh, have fun, and get my mind off of things for a while. well, it didn't happen tonight because of a few things.

• thing 1: a crappy game played by yours truly
• thing 2: a ridiculously insensitive "all rook same" moment after the game.
• thing 3: seeing a family of raccoons dead on the highway. mom and 2 babies all within 50 yards of each other.
• thing 4: jerk drivers on my way home.

thing 2 has me the most riled up. normally i'd blow it off as just another "all rook same" moment, but given that not being able to fix a dog toy made me cry, this one was hard to let go, especially because of the source.

whatever. some people just don't get it or choose not to. i feel better now that i've gotten these things out there and can think about them with some perspective. thing 1 is fixable, but likely not too soon as i'm off on vacation on the 18th and will probably miss a game or two. thing 2 - i won't dwell on it anymore. thing 3 - i can't bring 'em back. sad, yes, but my fault - no. thing 4 - they'll always be out there, so i just have to make sure i drive safely.

okay, time to start the week with a clean slate.
