I shall repeat what you've said to rainbowdash-answers: "when it rains it pours". That's basically my month in 5 words. Oh, it's not trouble in the library. It's just -- sigh -- Never mind, Miss Lyra. I'm sorry to bother you. Say hello in my name to Bon Bon, will you? I -- I'll resolve everything... I just hope, that I'm smart enough to do so by myself.
Always headed off to solve problems on your own, hmm Twilight?
If you need any help, you know where to find me.
At least let Spike help you out.
Oh, you know, the usual. Ponies decided to tick me off today more than usual. I feel like I should play some videogames, but not in the mood for it. Not really in the mood for anything other than some chatting, you know?
Trouble at the library?
Either way, you’re free to talk. I’m listening.
I'm not that hungry... I'd just like to be around you if it's okay.
Do you wanna grab dinner with me?
Uh… Bon-Bon’s already bringing something home. You’re welcome to come over here, though.

Here’s the obvious solution. Use your magic to help the earth pony way.
Amplification magic works great for getting up to that earth pony-level of strength!
Lyra, do you have plans for today?
You mean what’s left? Not in particular, but it’s already almost dinner time.
From the reaction, I'll base my assumption, that it's better than you've expected. Also; It looks like you're a bit busy, so I won't distract you...
Eh. It’s about as good as I figured it’d be. But I was expecting it to be pretty good.
I’m actually waiting for dinner right now. Bon-Bon is bringing something home. What’s up?
Good evening, Miss Lyra. How are you today?
I’m alright. No work, but-
I GOT SKYRIM!
SKY~RI~M!
O~H!
Ever since my position in Canterlot was discontinued, I hadn’t exactly been making much money. Bon-Bon’s done a little work teaching in the past and she talked to Cheerilee who told me about the very minimal requirements for being a substitute.
Needed a job, so I got one now.
Two churches located across the street from each other. At least the Catholics have a sense of humor.
Ah.. hey Lyra, do you know what's happening with everypony they seem to be in a lot of stress, recently.. How are you doing? <.<..
Ever heard the adage, “when it rains it pours?”
An overarching event will happen that raises stress levels for most, then the added stress causes things to happen that raises stress even more in small pockets.
What caused the overarching event? I couldn’t say. Could be education; midterms for some, finals for others. Could be economic; Occupy Canterlot, election season is coming up at the local level. The whole end-of-the-year time-frame is notorious for being ripe with extra expenditures. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, plus added heating costs.
But enough of that. I’m alright, how are you?
I don't know anymore... I just don't know...
I wish I could tell you more. I can only speak from experience.
I have a question for you... What do you do when you feel like your life is shattering slowly?
You keep going.
Find something to tether yourself to, something to derive joy from. And if something happens to it, you find something else.
And you keep going.
I’m alright, I guess. Didn’t have any work today.
