Electricity Woes

I have successfully gotten my electricity cut off due to non-payment.


No, I'm not really the type to forget to pay bills for a year. I would never have guessed such a thing could happen to me, much less in the heat of summer, when I'm hip-deep in exams and less than three months before I move to a new, and logistically much better, place.

I've gotten it back on again, but it was a tiny Odyssey. I lost my temper more times than I care to count. I missed a test because I couldn't concentrate on studying. All the stuff in my freezer is liquid again. My milk soured.

Best of all, even though the whole fiasco wasn't 100% my fault, enough of it was. Judging by the tiny pit of gnawing guilt in my belly, I'm going to be beating myself up over this for a while. Reminding myself that doing so does no good (yes! I know!) is of little use. It might even join my rotation of nightmares-about-my-failures.

I do not know why hot weather makes me so damn angry. I spent an hour today googling around trying to figure out if uncontrollable rage is a side effect of one of my medications.


Now I have to get back to studying. I still have a test Sunday morning.
