Some Positives

After checking out of the hotel Monday morning and returning to the mess that is our home right now, I kind of had a little mental breakdown of sorts. You know when things are just past the point of overwhelming and all you want to do is go into the fetal position?  That's how Brody and I felt for most of Monday. Physically and psychologically. Mondays are bad enough, but Mondays in January, with the rest of winter ahead of you....gag. On top of the ridiculousness of our apartment, and then the stupid clean-up guys never showed up to come get their fans. It just didn't bode well for all the rest of the hassle yet to come...

But Tuesday night, after a long day of work and then going straight to the ward for YW and the bishopric meeting (for Brody). We finally got home around 9 pm and I just broke and thankfully got the clean-up bug and went to town on the mess.  And finally, around midnight I had basically organized and cleaned to the point where my sanity was coming back, and everything seemed manageable again. Phew. Even though they found more places that needed to dry and a few of the fans are still going. It's going to be okay. It's all going to work out.  It's still going to be annoying and tough for a while, but I can sense the light at the end of the tunnel again.

And in the meantime, there are some positives to look forward to:

• It's a long weekend thanks to MLK Jr day on Monday
• Which also means there should be some good sales happening because I've noticed maternity stuff just doesn't seem to want to go on sale ever.
• A long weekend means a short work week :)
• It's supposed to get up to 52 degrees on Friday and Monday
• And apparently there are some major perks to not living in Utah as far as Cafe Rio is concerned....I think we might have to buy at least ten and then just freeze them.
