Y'all Are Awesome

I was in a very, oh, what was the word Hat used? "glumpy" mood today. The kind of mood that is created by 4 parts worry over things I can't control, 3 parts worry over things I can control and the sleep deprivation that goes with those worries and cares colliding in the middle of the night and waking me up with their unholy racket.

Plus, the tiara is in the shop for it's annual maintenance and you know how I hate being without my tiara.

Anypoo, the load I was carrying, sloshing around as it was and quite unwieldy because of it, was considerably lightened by reading your funny comments on the ark post just below (I'm much too glumpy to link it for you). Y'all are just so much fun. I like our imaginary games and banter and all that there. You know that. But still. Sometimes it bears mention. I feel better now and y'all didn't even know that I needed a good cheering. Aren't you fine?

Muuuah.

It's All In Your Perspective

Do you want to hear about how the kitchen flooded last night while The Child was trying to cook dinner and we were waiting for Jen to come juice The Cat? No? Pity. It's a terrific, action-packed tale in which our heroine completely loses her cool under pressure. You'd have loved it.

But since you don't want to hear about it, I'll just say:

a) Thank God for Drano. Seriously. Because if it hadn't worked and I had to call a plumber today and spend some more money that I don't have I would have been grumpy.

2) God bless The Spouse, who did keep his cool and who knows how to use a plumber's snake.

Also, I'd like to humbly submit that trouble should no longer come in threes. That is a very inefficient use of trouble. Rather, I would propose that trouble be space out more evenly and distributed more widely. We all can do with the occasional dose of character building that trouble affords us but really, heaping one annoying thing up on top of another just seems excessive.

Now I think I'll go say a prayer for those who might welcome a clogged drain because it would assume the presence of running water and others who live daily with more than I've ever been asked to carry.
