*ERG*!#@$_@!$*!@_@$*~)@!#~!

I. am having. the worst. possible. morning. EVER. *eye twitches*

Fist off I turn on my computer earlier this afternoon to discover all my programs are no longer opened. "Strange," I think, "I don't remember closing out of everything." A power outage, I conclude, not without a good degree of aggravation.

Then, I go to log BACK into LiveJournal to discover that my keyboard is not. working. "Great," I think, "Whatever happened to all my programs affected my keyboard, too!" This, NOT being the FIRST time my keyboard has DONE THIS. FRUSTRATED, I try to get on yahoo to see if anyone is on-line, and my internet decides it TOO is going to cease to exist. Angry now, I restart my machine and leave the room.

Next, I go looking for my mother. She is nowhere to be found inside the house, so I figure she must be out in the garden. So I decide to sit down at the piano and practice a little before my lessons today and wait for her to come in. A half hour passes, I realize I'm probably going to be late for my lessons, and my mother is still nowhere to be seen. *eye twitches again*

So I go outside and look for her. Nothing. I look up all three flights of stairs again. Nothing. I redo everything a second time, this time calling her name. Still nothing. The car is in the garage, so she couldn't have gone anywhere. So I have to call and cancel my piano lessons today, explaining that I've LOST MY MOTHER and am not leaving until I can FIND her (to which Hendrika was totally understanding, thank goodness).

I call Sandy to see if she knows where mom is and she's not home, so I leave a message, pull on some shoes and go looking around our entire property calling out for my mother.

WHERE ON EARTH HAS SHE GONE? It's almost been an hour and a half since I started my search, and I have not seen or heard ANYTHING. I'm starting to FLIP OUT. I'm calling neighbors and friends and I'm getting nothing. WHERE IS MY MOTHER?

So finally, frustrated and worried out of my mind, I rip my old keyboard out of my computer (after realizing the reboot did NOTHING), get out my OLDER keyboard and plug it back in, and viola, here I am.

I swear, if I don't hear anything from my mother in the next half hour, I'm calling the police.
