Camera

Do you ever wish you could take back and replay a large chunk of time? When you've done something, said something that you regret?

Well, that's me for the past 12+ hours. 

Last night we were having a nice quiet evening.  Donald was reading and I was getting settled into my nightly routine.  It was a nice night, so Donald was reading outside.  We had previously noticed that flowers had bloomed next to our front porch, and I wanted to take a few pictures of them.

I got out my camera and went to go sit it on a table, but it didn't make it on the table all the way and it fell.  The lens was open and it fell directly on the lens.  I about died. My precious camera, that we have only had since November, fell and broke.  My first reaction was to cry, but then I remembered that we had a warranty!! So we get out the warranty and quickly realized that such incidents are NOT covered by the warranty! (What is the point of spending the extra money on a warranty if it doesn't do any good???) Now I am so mad because not only did I break my camera, but there is NO way I can get it fixed and we can't exactly afford a new one.  Donald quickly got to work to see if there was anything we could do.  We chatted with someone at Sears and then called and talked with someone at Sears and then we went to Sears.  All with same outcome...DOOM!

By now my emotions are all over the place, I went from crying to anger, back to crying and then anger again.  This morning both of those emotions have surfaced again.  And to make it even worse, I've taken it out on my poor husband, who has been nothing but sweet and helpful and I was a complete jerk to him.  I now feel as though I deserve to have no camera because I was so mean. 

So for now, this shall be a photo-less blog, unless I can find my old camera and pray that it works for a little while longer or find someone who can fix my camera.

So long camera...I will miss you and all the memories you help me capture...
