Blessed or Cursed?

I need help sorting the events of today.  It's been a day of ups and downs. 


Examples:

  • I had to wake up at 6:00am today to workout before work - UGGG
    • I rode the bike 40 minutes - I made it!
    • Then did a full 50 minute workout with Maria (my awesome trainer) - I made it!
  • I had to go to work - mixed
  • I got to get a Big Board (a nice piece of 'equipment' for quilting) from work
    • It fell out of the back of the van because the clasp does not work
      • I was able to pull over, run out into the road and get it after holding my breath that no one would run over it - and no one did!!  (I still don't dare to open the box for fear that something has broken in the fall)
  • The van.
    • Sliding door does not open
    • Side mirror folds in when driving over 65 mph
    • Passenger door does not unlock with a key
      • Today's bonuses:
        •  overheated today which meant that I had to pull over on the highway take all the junk out of the back take off the cover of the engine area (it's a VW, so it's in the back).  I had to wait for the smoke to clear then take off a hose to the coolant tank, then the cap and fill it with coolant (which I happened to have in the van). 
        • The fan mounted on the front dash, which serves as our air conditioning, broke from it's mount so it's in operable.
I've ended the day by going to a movie with Urban and we are going to take a walk to the doughnut store. 

Yep, I think I've been blessed today.


Had to end with a fun pic of Urban and I cheesin for the camera a couple weeks ago.
