Funny, ain't it?

It's funny, yes - funny, how small things can kill your spirit for the moment.

I got some bad news (something that is fixable. Thursday). And then Frday I got some not-so-great news, regards to work. Basically, I have to change somethings during the break.

But you have to build your spirit. That's how it works.
It's a hard time for me, so may God be there with my heart.
