Unexpected water shut-off and half-day

[matrixrefugee]

Lots of unexpected things happened today: woke up this morning to find the water shut off and a backhoe outside my window, because the water main had broken in the middle of the night. Got to work and was Fine for awhile, but That Time of The Month has been imminent and I started feeling exhausted and depressed. At least they let me out early. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts and got myself a nice cup of their new hot apple cider, which perked me up a little. So I headed home -- carefully treading around the workmen digging up our sidewalk -- and took arrest for the better part of the day.

Also got a package today with the first of the three-volume manga version of Gankutsuou, which is a little different from the anime version. It seems to be told from the POV of the Count of Monte Cristo rather than Albert's.
