life is but a stream?

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming...

Last night's temper tantrum was courtesy of the most insane, frustrating, disabling day at work in the history of monkey jobs. Am fairly certain that was in danger of suffering any number of stress related maladies if not for the cool and calming effect of one v. silly roommate. Am so lucky.

And a good night's sleep. Rain smacking at the window, the Beetles on repeat and a kitten for a pillow (don't think she minded too much) -- had all but forgotten the day's horrors when woke up.

*sigh* Just got off the phone with UMF who relayed College Freshman Sister's financial woes. As the UMF is in no position to help, and as yours truly will be finally un-poor this Friday, will now be expected to cut a check. While really have no problem helping out (and more importantly want to help), was shamefully looking forward to completely selfish spending binge. Fine. Lesson learned. Will now happily (and not at all resentfully) hum song that learned in primary school:

Give, said the little stream
Give, oh, give
Give, oh, give
Give said the little stream
As it hurried on its way

I'm small, I know
But wherever I go
The grass grows greener still

Stupid stream.

Yeah. That stream is all fish pee and toxic chemicals from the hydroelectric plant. Dam the stream! Dam it all!

I never learned that song, but the "stupid stream" made me crack up. :D

yes the grass grows greener still if it is responsible grass (i.e. doesn't have a gambling addiction or credit card habits). Be judicious little stream!
