Day 268: [OT].

Sorry about the deletion of the last journal entry; I had a minor personal crisis and the more rosy-coloured tone in that entry looked less true than it was.

I'm very grateful to have received the kind comments, and hope that the authors won't take offense of their removal.

I am $working my way out of this personal/financial hell, so I can arrive in .au this Friday in one piece. Judging from past experience, it should get better as soon as I'm not in .tw. ;-)
