Sorry about your crappy morning, askye.
Girls weren't allowed to take shop, and I refused to take home ec as a point of honor. Also, my mother was sick, and I was already doing quite enough cooking and cleaning. At my small high school, the alternatives were Latin, typing and study hall. I viewed study hall as a complete waste of time, so I took two years of Latin and one year of typing, which together did me more good than the entire rest of the curriculum.
I had a meltdown at the oncologist. Kaiser is closing the oncology office I've been going to for more than a decade, so I was going to a new office. I was running late because of pouring rain and traffic, then I missed the turn and when I got to the office I didn't know where anything was. Then the whole idea that someone would have to do for me what the blessed LAistas are doing for ita crashed down on me. Bad, bad day.
