Day: February 25, 2005

It’s amazing how much better only 5 minutes with a Cheerful Howard can make me feel. I’m so lucky.

Agh! Patches just deleted Howard’s user file in Insaniquarium Deluxe. Now Howard has lost-game-grumpy on top of his this-project-is-taking-too long grumpy and is buried in his office working as hard as he can to meet his obligations and feed us all. I now have insufficient-supervision guilt which causes me to have a low tolerance for chaos and to be angry with all of the children. This is especially bad since I have three extra kids overnight. I want to fix things. I want to cry. And I feel stupid for getting so upset and stressed over such a little event. But it doesn’t feel little because I Failed Howard and I can’t make it all better.

And I’m mad because I was having such a nice day and now I’m not.
