I Had "One of Those Days"
After not being able get my car going for three days last week, the mechanic did
sort it out by Wednesday. Happiness all round as I had to do a number of things by then.
So today, Monday, I could finally collect a cartridge for our printer I ordered a week ago. Just to get home and realize, it's
someone else's...
Off to a friend who is waiting for me to help her with her resume, and from her house to go look at a new place to stay. I get in my car and it's "dead" again.
New battery and a few thousand rand later, I
can pick up my son and get him to the orthodontist.
After picking me up from my friend's house, we finally drive home when I nearly ran over someone. Thank goodness, I didn't.
So that was my Monday. It was definitely "one of those days."
Kind Regards,

It's OK to go slow. Just don't stop.
Hi, Maria,
I’m working on emptying an unfinished basement that is full of 50+ years of stuff (much of which is ruined from dust and dampness). When I’m gone, I don’t want my children to have to go through that mess.
It gets tiring, and it’s easy to feel like I’m not ever going to get the job done. However, I found the perfect mantra on my cat calendar. It keeps me going. “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.” –
Confucius
