a week later

Well it has been a week since the worst day ever and I will still say it was a pretty horrible day.  Things have improved this week as apart from work and everyday life stuff I have pretty much just numbed my brain and sadness of my husband heading back to Montreal with hours of Dr Who (I know, nerd alert) and hours of cooperative video gaming with my husband.  We have been playing a game called Terraria which has proven to be rather fun.  I know that I really need to be trying to focus on 'being a grown up' but then I realize that I am working a full time job, caring well for my son, maintaining a household and supporting a long distance husband.  I am very grown up.  So maybe I'll cut myself some slack and play a little more.

Worst day ever?

It feels like this might be the worst day ever. Ok, not The worst EVER, but the worst I've had in a while. 

First off, I live in a freezer, well Saskatchewan Canada and the temperature today did not rise about -42 with the wind chill factor. That alone makes it a bad day. 

Secondly, my husband works and lives 3 provinces away in Montreal Quebec and he left here today after a blissful two week visit. The day he leaves is always rough on all of us. 

Thirdly, I got my first traffic ticket ever. I have been driving for almost 20 years and today I got a ticket for doing a u-turn in a light controlled intersection. I didn't know I wasn't allowed to do that, but apparently I'm not. So there is $230 dollars I need to pay and some points off my good driving record. 

Fourthly (yup it is not done yet) I seem to have lost an earring that I got from a friend when she was traveling in Spain. Boo 

But even after all of this I still need to think about all of the great things I have in my life. 

A warm house in this cold temperature. 

A husband who has found the job of his dreams. 

A great job that allows me to pay for a mistake like a traffic violation. 

And friends who think of me when they travel the world. 

Worst day ever, maybe. Filled with blessings, definitely.
