Morning, all--<br><br>
Well, after yesterday's jubilation, I am definitely at the bottom of the mood trough. I have a meeting this morning with my advisor about my dissertation draft, and while I don't expect anything too major, for some reason I'm anticipating a complete disaster. Also, there's a radon problem in my beautiful new house, and while there's a relatively cheap mitigation system that can be installed, no one's sure where to install it so I don't have ugly pipes running through the middle of a room. My mom also told me that friends of a friend had radon issues and couldn't sell their houses to save their lives, so now I'm worried about re-sale even with the mitigation system. This house may fall through and I'll be <i>devastated</i>. Plus, it's raining and I went out last night to buy a stereo, and I couldn't find one that had all the features I wanted. I decided not to buy anything rather than buy something I didn't really want. [The stereo is meant to be my reward for completing the dissertation draft so now I feel like I haven't really celebrated the draft.] In the scheme of the universe, my life is sunbursts and rainbows, but in the scheme of the last couple of days, I'm feeling very blue.<br><br>
Sorry for being a bummer.<br><br>
