there were 2 things that made me unhappy today.
1. i bought a carton of a dozen eggs, and i was so excited that i floored the car home so i could inspect them, and to my dismay, 2 of them were packed upside down.
2. i am hemmed in by a potentially catastrophic bushfire, and i may lose my house. there is a serious fire happening in the area where i live, and the fire front extends for 300km. it is to the north west of where i live, and the prevailing winds are blowing toward the south east, so if they can not put it out before it gets here, my house will burn down. i have been monitoring various web sites regarding the progress of the fire every 10 minutes, and it is a drag to do so. i just want to involve myself in my interests, but it is mandatory for me to continuously monitor the situation every 10 minutes.
another problem is that i have limited choices as to which direction i can go to avoid personal injury, and it seems that both of those choices are now impossible to travel in because they are engulfed in flames, and the road is being closed in both directions.
the fire is currently 9 km to the northwest of my location, and i want to go to sleep but i dare not.
i sleep very deeply, and if a fire officer bangs on my front door telling me to evacuate immediately while i am asleep, i am unlikely to respond, and they are likely to think that noone is home at my place and move on. hmmm...
to add to the trauma, it is said that tomorrow there will be winds gusts in excess of 100kph heading in my direction from the fire front. i must remain awake, but i am now too tired to do anything i find interesting.
bad.
Again!?
what are you talking about? you bolded the part about the eggs, so i presume the reason for your post is to remind me that i may have posted about my previous dilemmas with eggs , thus inferring that i am rehashing trite and worn out concepts
i am much more concerned about the possibility that i may be trapped in a real nightmare soon, and i wrote about the eggs as a light hearted introduction to my core worry.
ok. i will stop talking about eggs in future. my experience with the eggs was true, and that is why i repeated it in this post even though i posted the original event concerning the eggs yesterday.
you have never said anything that i have found interesting ( i have not researched your post history) , and so i guess we are similar in only that respect.
i do not want to be barbecued and i am getting ready to leave if the situation requires it.
whatever. prevail you prick. many people here will consider that you have "owned" me, but if my computer goes up in flames and i survive, then i will certainly reconsider spending any energy of mine communicating with anonymous people who only can comment that i used the same concept twice in as many days during an emergency.
