    When I was filming earlier this month my: laptop, helmet, bike shoes, and some bike clothes were stolen at one of the locations. (approx 1100 dollars). I loved those shoes ($450 dollar cycling shoes) And the lappy had my camera's memory card in it so I lost a decade of photos, on topo of my last 8 months of downloading music and anime. Also, the production company ( I think) is trying to screw me out of my paycheck. The contract stipulated $750 flat for the 5 days of work, I did them, and haven't seen a dime. I should have been paid weeks ago,and can't get in touch to deal with it. =/

    I'm in way over my head at work and have no one to call upon for help. I will need to start working about 80-100 hours a week until December.

    Worst of all, I lost my last and most treasured grandparent Sunday. I knew she was sick and planned to go see her one last time this weekend. Of all my grandparents Grandmere meant the most to me, I was closest to her and she had the most influence on my childhood. She was my ally against my father and she was one hip lady. =(
    I miss her dearly, and it's preventing me from being able to focus on my work so I'm falling farther and farther behind.

    Also, my bike is starting to scare me, I know something is wrong but I don't know what. Having no car I need this bike, badly. I fear it may fail me soon.

    In short:

    everything is bad.
    I'm unbearably saddened
    and here for support.

    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
