In spite of broken major appliances, torrential rain, darkness, cancelled parties, and missed deadlines, mom and I had a pretty good day. Even if she can count the bills from the bank but not be able to tell you how much money there is, we had fun getting out, and she could still count. Even if her inability to find the word she wants is frustrating, we had fun playing the charades that got us to understanding.
No way to cook? We went out to eat. Too much to get a handle on, so we didn't. We survive. Some days you just can't get it all done no matter what. This was one of those days. Tomorrow could even be better. In the mean time, there were smiles, tears, festivity and lots of rain. For now, I will look for rainbows in the morning. Sleep now and the Maytag repairman will come in the morning, enforcing normal. It was good to grab the fun while we could. May we have more days where the fun outweighs the grief.
Amen
