Just When I Thought It Was Safe

Two things I know for sure...stuff happens...when you least expect it. You can either laugh or cry.

AND

the biggest lesson learned is there is still grace in spite of it all.

My computer took a dive and breathed its last breath. I sat horrified. There was no warning, no burp or cough...just...silence.

I felt like Alexander having a horrible, no good, terrible day but mine was magnified times 2 million.

J wrapped his arms around me and said, "Honey, I'm sorry your day isn't going well. Is there something I can do to make it better?"

The grouchy me said, "I just want to punch a wall."

The loving, sweetheart J said, "Here, just punch me and you'll feel better."

I told him, "Nope. It would make me feel worse...way worse. I can't and won't hurt you." (Although my punch would've probably felt like a flea tickling him.)

So, he held me for a minute and the phone rang. In a minute, my bad day began to take a turn for the better. Jarebearboo blessed me with her laptop. Basically, she told me to get "quit my sniveling" and I did.

Then, both her and Married Boo came over to visit. In the short amount of time they were here, I realized just how much I miss them both. Life felt like my kind of normal for awhile. We laughed and they promised that we'd do a girls weekend and SOON.

I needed to remind myself that sometimes tears come before laughter.

Another thing that I've learned is that it may awhile before I find my "normal" here. When I do, it will be all that I've dreamed it would be.

PS--There's a new arrival on it's way. (hint...he's fluffy and has four legs and is darn cute! More on the new arrival soon to come.)
