As great as Weds was, Thurs certainly had its moments!
Oldest woke up with pink eye -- who knew 23 year olds still got it! So, had to change my plans, cancel my health coach call & take him to the walk-in. of course this also meant no school for him, so not the fresh start I was hoping for!
Then, had to call Sony about youngest's computer which hasn't worked properly & we've been calling about since 8/9. I was again on the phone with them for 1 & 1/2 hours. Between the 2 of us, we've called them probably 6 times & spent over 20 hours on calls. They first thought it was a hardware issue but when the technician came to the house, he couldn't fix it. Now they have engineers working on it, but even though we were promised it would be resolved last Fri, no one called us with an update. I was so mad as he needs it for school that I gave them a piece of my mind. It's been such a frustrating process getting passed between customer relations, tech support, engineering, etc., but after demanding a solution, replacement or refund, I'm finally to someone who is responding. I'll keep you posted & try not to blow a casket over it :)! I honestly though will never buy another Sony product!
And finally, DH is up to his usual game of wanting to socialize all of the holiday weekend. This time he invited friends to our lake cottage on Sun without even running it by me first. When I called him on it, he said it was just for the guys. But his email said families welcome. So, the replies started coming in with 2 families asking if I was coming. I was menopausal, sassy me though & told him probably not as I've too much on my plate before we leave on the bike trip on Thurs. We were out last night at friends for dinner after biking with them. We're having dinner with his Mom on Sat night. And, we're going to the US Open on Monday :) with his client & wife. Thats more than enough for me plus the stack of bookkeeping work I keep not getting to & the trip planning, packing, etc.
Well, enough of a rant already! Today, I'm playing tennis this morning & then attacking that stack. I am loving have DS home & even though he's abiding by the house rules and doing his share, having him around is different -- he talks to me!... which i love, but I never seem to get anything done! So, before he gets up & my day really starts, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And again today, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express through this one day, meal, moment, bite & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of you, my family & IRL friends, having my oldest home even with all the talking :) & distractions and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
