TRIGGER: Sorry

Have you ever had those occasions when you can’t seem to do right for doing wrong?
 
Despite all your good intentions you just seem to keep digging that hole and placing both feet firmly in it.
You touch it…it breaks.
You fix it…it doesn’t work the same.
You say it…you could bite your tongue off.
You laugh out loud…the rest of the room stays deathly quiet.
You try hard…you know failure is a foregone conclusion.
Your ears ring with the sound of that little word being repeated over and over…Sorry!
 
You had one of those weeks too? ……. Hi, pull up a chair and join the club.
 

So the trigger is…
 
sorry     [sor-ee,   sawr-ee]
-adjective
1. feeling regret, compunction, sympathy, pity, etc.
2. regrettable or deplorable; unfortunate; tragic
3. sorrowful, grieved, or sad

What a week!   Four power failures in two days, some lasting for 9 hours.  We ended up with the supply coming from a generator truck for most of the week (which, incidentally, also blew the generator and caused yet another power outage!!!).  We reverted to candles for illumination, playing cards by torchlight for entertainment and my kids discovered that there are other things in life than MSN Messenger.Dark
So the trigger for today is:

dark  [d?rk]

7. sullen; frowning
8. evil; iniquitous; wicked
–noun
9. the absence of light; darkness
10. night; nightfall
11. a dark place.
12. a dark color.
