Tired. And I'm tired of house hunting. My father has sent me two e-mails about this one house with an open house tomorrow (in which I wasn't really interested in the first place), but when I drove by it with my girlfriend earlier, she was frightened -- no, freaked out. She did not like the neighborhood at all, nor was I at all impressed. I had my reservations to begin with, and it was even less than I expected.
On a related note, while standing in line at the bank, a realtor overheard us talking and gave us her card. I'm not sure how next to proceed, but she was very helpful in the two minutes we spoke to her. |

I renewed my license at the DMV today. (It was going to expire in a couple of weeks.) When I went online to schedule an appointment today, the earliest I could get was Dec 15 at one location and Dec 28th at another, and the non-appointment wait times for today were over an hour. However, I found one location that quoted a wait time online of 31 (then 30.. then 25... then 24... then 22) minutes, so I dashed out of the house to take care of it. Of course the wait had increased by the time I got there, but was still well less than half of another location, and so I waited patiently in line and took care of it.
All and all, including travel, I think it took about two hours, but I'm not sure when I left the house, so I cannot say for certain. Regardless, it is done. I only wonder how long it would have taken with an appointment. |

I replaced the power supply on my computer for the second time in its very long lifespan. I'd first done so a little less than a year ago after the video card (which I'd replaced years prior) died and I opted to replace it with a slightly better one. However, mere weeks after its installation, my replacement power supply began to whine nastily and began an off-and-on romance with a can of WD-40 that lasted for several months. However, just recently, about a week ago, it became unable to power both two hard drives and two DVD drives (it could only do three of the four simultaneously), and so I opted to replace it for the second and final time.
It is certainly time to replace my faithful computer at long last, and I know with what and from whence to buy it. I just have to find the time to actually do so (and have the time to transfer everything and install after the fact). And I need to have this computer in working condition to be able to do so. |

Tiiiiired.
Spent two hours between four and six this morning cleaning up and putting away food. The cooking this year didn't really tire me out, but the early-morning cleaning on little sleep did.
Girlfriend went to Jo-Ann's for a Black Friday doorbuster special, but I was too tired to go.
Need sleep / rest. |

House hunting / shopping / looking / etc. is a lot more stressful and frustrating than I ever possibly imagined it could / would be. |

Professor J. Phillippe Rushton of The University of Western Ontario in his study on differences and marital happiness put it this way, “One of the most important principles to follow in choosing a mate revolves around a highly established reality: Stable and satisfying marriages usually involve two people who are very much alike.” |

Tired. Extremely.
Stressed. Vaguely.
Even though the carpet guys woke me up (again) yesterday, I still felt relatively well and optimistic. Today I just feel tired and worn out. |

Ninety-nine percent of the stuff we harvest, mine, process, transport — 99 percent of the stuff we run through this production system is trashed within six months.
Annie Leonard, “The Story of Stuff”
In 2006, the U.S. produced more than 251 million tons of trash — 4.6 pounds per person per day.
EPA Municipal Solid Waste Data for 2006
The average American uses 1,189 gallons of water per day.
American car owners spend an average of 1,000 hours annually behind the wheel. |

Feeling very sad / lonely / unloved today.
Major car accident on Wednesday.
My girlfriend suffered more injuries -- because she wasn't wearing a seat belt and was on the side of impact -- and my parents keep asking me how she's doing or asking her how she's feeling. They haven't once asked since Wednesday how I'm doing.
I feel like no one gives a shit about me. I feel invisible. It's like I could disappear and no one would care.
Everyone says how lucky we are to walk away from it, and yet the only feeling of fortune I have is being physically unscathed. I have yet to feel joyful that I'm still alive. I'm just sad. No one gives a shit... |
