Some Days, Crap Happens
My morning started like this...
Last night, I stuck a Diet Coke in the freezer to get it icy cold. I forgot about it and woke up to a cola bomb.
Whatever.
I decided I'd clean it later.
I needed to browse work email, eat my breakfast, and take my dog to the vet.
I'd found a lump on her leg and me being the calm, rational person that I am, feared the worst (cancer) and made an emergency appointment.
Since mishaps with appliances was the theme of the day, I blew up some oatmeal in the microwave and let the coffee maker empty onto the counter.
It could've been a bad start to my day. For a tiny moment, I thought–
Never mind what I thought. It's not fit for print and it was only in my brain for a half a beat before I reminded myself of one of my core beliefs:
Something good is headed my way!
The devil always tries to screw with people when good things are coming.
Don't surrender the peace. Swerve the hurdles and keep on keeping on.

| Chad and Violet...plotting some shenanigans, I'm sure! |
Kitchen mishaps are the worst! Happy birthday to Chad, and Violet definitely looks like she is plotting something in that photo. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't she look ornery? That's the Grandad influence on her!
DeleteYou made me laugh, thank you. Happy Birthday to the man of the hour. Violet is a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteMy job is done for the day. Making at least one person a day smile is the goal.
DeleteYeah. Some days, right? And Happy Birthday to your hubby. You gave him such a great tribute in just a few words. You must be a writer! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I like to daydream and put it on paper. I guess that's writing. LOL
DeleteWow, that's a lot to handle in one day! Well done for keeping your cool. Dogs and lumps can be a nightmare. Artoo has one in his abdomen which we keep an eye on but is unchanged and therefore absolutely fine. As with humans though, it's always best to get it checked.
ReplyDeleteYes, if she and Artoo were humans, we'd be scheduling biopsies. Hopefully, Artoo's stays static as well. Hugs!
DeleteMama said there'd be days like this. There'd be days like this Mama said. My friend has a curse and blessing theory. Similar to your devil and good things. For every curse, like the coke blowing up in the fridge, there's a blessing. Like your sweet pupper only having a cyst
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect way of putting it. Sums up my theory to a tee.
DeleteGreat news about your pup! God does deliver.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the freezer. That's quite the mess.
It was great news! I suppose the freezer needs a good cleaning anyhow.
DeleteThat's wonderful about Artemis! We went through the lump on the leg with our cat Spunky and sadly it was cancer.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is always putting drinks in the freezer to chill. I'll have to show him your photo! I'm not cleaning that kind of mess up.
I'm so sorry to hear about Spunky. I hate saying good bye to my furry friends.
DeleteYep, show him. Tell him the picture doesn't do it justice. Everything in the freezer has a coating of cola on it.
I've made some soda popcicles by mistake, too. I'm glad Artemis is okay, and Happy Birthday to your husband.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
But when you remember to take it out just at the right stage of slushy, it's so delicious. I'd like to say I learned my lesson, but I'll be doing it again. LOL
DeleteWhat a day. Glad you soldiered through it and that your dog is okay. Whew.

I am a little crazy about my dog, so thank you. :)
DeleteI'm glad your dog is okay. Happy Birthday to your husband! We all have those kind of days. I like your approach to just swerve around the hurdles. It's great advice.
ReplyDeleteIf I was athletic enough, I'd just jump them!
DeleteI have blownup
ReplyDeleteOatmeal in the microwave. Glad things got better! You are funny
I wish I could say blowing things up in the microwave was a rare occurrence, but...
DeleteHave a grand, crap-free weekend:)

Hope you had a great weekend yourself!
DeleteHappy birthday to Chad! Violet is adorable. Kitchen mishaps is a daily occurance at my house.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe kitchen is often my enemy. lol
That's the kind of day where you just want to go back to bed and start again.
ReplyDeleteThe thought occurred to me!
DeleteI think we've all had the microwave/freezer explosions. It's never fun is it?
ReplyDeleteHope today has been a good one.

You have a great day too. :)
DeleteHappy to hear Artemis is OK! YAY! But oh, I've had those mornings. It's like the world is pranking us.
