Re-Expansion

Man, was I depressed earlier in the week. Even my shrink said so.

But since I had like 8 hours to do whatever I wanted yesterday, and a pretty good evening tonight too, I feel like I've had enough time to stare at the wall and start to get some spontaneity and enthusiasm back.

Tonight we had a fire alarm in our building. I realized I should probably back up my laptop, and my roommate callously left her cat in the apartment, but otherwise the evacuation went pretty smoothly. There was real smoke on the third floor and all of us in the line filing down the stairs made eye contact and raised our eyebrows. I've never been evacuated for a real fire before. Anyway, the firemen came quickly and I felt a thrill of gratitude toward them -- this seems like it was a tiny fire, but still, they come in ready to risk their lives for our safety and preservation of our things.
