Mind-numbingly tired and sad

Arrived at 7:30 this morning; we're a one-car family till that ignition problem in the van gets fixed. Did one, simple Neighbors page. Only it wasn't so simple, as I learned when Dawn proofed my page and it was full of red marks! And it looked so easy when Mercy did it last week, teaching me. Learned some stuff about compiling a big calendar I'll be doing. Learned more about compiling info for Neighbors pages. Learned that my computer is not set up to print the page to the Output stage, as it should. So that's the tired part.

Heard that Kurt, from the newsroom, has a type of lung cancer -- a really benign kind, if that can be said about lung cancer. So that made people's hearts heavy at work today. I can't stop thinking how unfair it is. Kurt is a kind, decent human being and I hate it that he has to go through that...

Andrea was really nice to me, checking to see if I was doing OK. And it was in the middle of a tough day for her, trying to figure out the phone mess with the phone company guy.

I arranged my new desk, and really like sitting there. But I am just SO TIRED. And I was so embarrassed that when my page got proofed, there were so many little things to fix. Then I didn't leave work till 6:45. I am now sitting like a zombie in front of the TV.

Live and learn. I hope.
