So after my really bad day, the next day turned out to be even worse.
Let me just say I found myself car-less, after the rental car places were closed, and after a half mile walk, my sister didn't answer her door.
I had a mini-meltdown. Turns out she was home after all, but the doorbell doesn't work. She was able to give me a ride home.
During the drive, she wondered why all this was happening to me now. I off-handedly replied, "17-year-old car, 17-year-old house, 8-year-old dog."
But I wondered if maybe it was more involved than that?
I firmly believe that you get from the universe what you put into it. And I realized I have been floating a boatload of negativity towards the universe. Mostly because of my job.
It’s only reasonable that it would come back to me. And I resolved to stop looking at the negative in all the situations.
And almost immediately, problems became more manageable. I was able to sleep better. And I returned to my cheerful, former self.
And I swear my luck changed for the better.
The car was fixed and ready to be picked up the next day. Although I ended up taking it back twice more, they didn't charge me any additional money. I did have to rent a car for one more night, but I got that one from Hertz and they treated me much better.
The smoke alarms will take a little bit of work to replace, but that’s the cost of owning a home. Things need to be fixed or replaced periodically. Alarms are supposed to last 10 years. These were installed when the house was new, seventeen years ago.
And a co-worker had already done the research on good replacements. I have them now, waiting for me to get around to replacing them. Supposedly, they are easy to replace.
And Angel will get better with time. She is in a good humor, so not in a lot of pain.
And work bothers me less. I even got an unexpected day off, with pay.
My attitude change has made it easier to deal with work and the various travails that life throws at me.
And I daresay, I'm more pleasant to be around now.
