Might I suggest refraining from reading/watching news over the situation in Japan a bit. I just had to, this week, when I noticed I couldn't cope.

My own life has made me miserable lately too, and I think of those risking their lives in Japan and all my petty health worries seem so meaningless. Yet I can't help but think that with all the work those brave men do, they might not be remembered. Lot's of people died in Tsernobyl too, and who remembers them?

I tried not to watch, but then it seemed like I was forgetting before it even began. I dunno. Everyone that I know personally over there is fine, but then I start thinking that it could have been them. I dunno.

I have a friend whose fortitude I admire. She forced herself not to be up to date with the news from Japan to finish a study assignment. And then she felt bad about it. These hard times kind of make me wish I'd been born at another time...

I hope you were still able to enjoy your birthday

Yes. Thanks! I spent part of it helping with some relief and relief fund organizing at the college I work for and that made me feel much better.
