Not My Day

Ok. I know. I usually post on Tuesdays, not Mondays but here’s the thing…this does not seem to be my day. I just wanted to give you all a sneak peek into my not so fabulous start to the new year.

I was sitting on the couch and diddling on my phone when there was this loud crash. My first thought was “Oh my gosh, are the kids ok?” followed shortly by “What the heck was that?”

Turns out my closet gave up the ghost. What? My closet shelving now looks like a roller coaster. Yeah.

It tore right off the wall! It’s not like I had a ton of stuff up there! I had a tote, my sewing box, a couple of button boxes, and a few various clothes. That’s it. Not much weight. I couldn’t believe it!

In my upset I texted my two friends, Jim, to let them know how the day was going. Jim #1 said not to worry, I could fix it. I could, but why, when I could just put in a work order? I don’t think I’m even supposed to fix it!

I still have not heard from Jim #2. Sigh 😔. Can I call it a day yet? Oh no, that’s right – my bed is covered in clothes from the closet that is no more!!! Ugh!

Tomorrow will be better! Tomorrow will be better! Tomorrow will be better! How many times do I have to say that before it happens?

Actually, my closet concerns are nothing compared to my niece. As most of you know, my two nieces and nephew came from China where two of the three lived in pretty deplorable conditions. I am speaking of niece #2. She is a brilliant chess player, a beautiful, intelligent woman, with the sweetest nature. She came with spina biffida. For those of you who are not familiar with this condition, it means that she was born with her spine outside of her body. She struggles. Her latest surgery happened on the day before Thanksgiving. When it was over, she could no longer feel her legs or walk. She is in rehab and is working hard. There are some bright spots, but she still cannot walk. Please pray for her. She is only 18.

Thanks everyone! I’m sure it will get better. I’m just mired in it right now…all of it.
