May 8

Yesterday was a terrible day. I overslept I didn't hear the alarm. , because I missed my bus I had to take a taxi to work. That cost $25.00 (Ouch!). Of course, my boss was mad I was late. At noon, I had to finish writing a report, I couldn't have lunch with Allen (I hate to break appointments!). In the evening, I was to have dinner and go to a concert with Shawn. She never showed up. I got home, I was
, hungry, and just burned out. And there was a message on my voice mail from Shawn. It said she was breaking up with me. What a lousy day!
