Yesterday: 3.5 hours, 3 cities, 4 people, 0 rain (yay!), 195.8 kilometres. And then my mom was here. It was the grace of God that we didn't experience any of the freezing rain that was predicted. Other than that, and the luggage conveyer belt that refused to move, it was pretty eventless.

Wow...a thunderstorm in winter...amazing. Lots of rain and freezing rain today. Closes the school, that's for sure. Quite surprising.

Yes, I literally had a mental breakdown today that locked my mom out of the house with lots of groceries for about an hour. My version of the story: I planned to prepare a Bible study this morning and afternoon. However, with mom here, I was constantly interrupted by her, to a point where I just go, forget it, I'm not preparing this Bible study anymore. Later when she went off shopping with Francis' mom, I kept thinking and thinking, and eventually reached a breakdown that, for some reason, made me run away to the office. I guess I was hoping for some time alone in a different environment, but that didn't work when two officemates were there. So I went off to an empty bench outside to puzzle and study. When I came back, officemates inform me that mom's being locked outside. I had a struggle as to what to do, because at that time, I think I intended for mom to be locked outside, but then go to Francis' place when they find that I wasn't home. Turned out that when mom was locked outside, she ran around the building looking for me, for about an hour. Eventually I got home and I stayed in my bed. Of course, mom's version is different...she thinks that I went to office to work, and forgot the time. My version is, I really didn't want her distraction. Anyway, so why exactly did I have a mental breakdown? I think the main reason is that I'm already burdened by a ton of things, and now that mom's here, she was already a giant distraction on day 1. My mind was weak and couldn't handle it anymore, so it snapped. Ah...so that's the kind of scary things that happen when my mind snaps...yikes.
