Whatever I Feel LikeGosh!

It’s been a rough couple of days for me.

First, my sponsor’s dad died on Saturday. He was in a car accident a couple weeks ago and was making progress - then he had a heart attack and went rapidly downhill. They decided to take him off life support, as he would have wanted. So tragic. He was in pretty good health prior to the accident, even though he was 77.

Next is a prevalent thing - things at work just aren’t good. And I’ll leave it at that.

Then last night I found out another friend’s parents were in a car accident on Friday. Her mom died at the hospital and her dad is in critical condition. That’s two funerals/viewings I’ll be attending this week. The saddest part of that story is her parents were on their way to a memorial celebration event for their son who died just two years ago. :-( Oh and the funeral for her mom and my sponsor’s dad is on the same day, but thankfully the viewing for her mom is Wednesday night, so I can pay my respects to both friends.

Last night also sucked because our upstairs TV went on the fritz. There is a red and green curved band at the bottom of the screen that gives a duplicate image of everything on the screen. From Googling, I’m pretty sure we have a convergence problem, which means big bucks for a repair. We have to decide if we repair it or just buy a new one. This is a nice TV - 53″ Rear Projection HDTV that is only 4 years old. Sucks.

And to top it all off, last night I spilled coffee all over my new Vera Bradley purse, wallet and makeup bag (I actually knocked the cup over INTO my bag). I tried my best to get it out, but the material is pretty much stained. I washed them in the gentle cycle - no go. I washed by hand with Oxiclean - little better. I have them drying in the sun now - maybe that will help. Meanwhile, I’m using my original Mesa Red set that I got for Christmas.

So, yeah. Life is not a bowl of cherries at the moment.
