Perfect Timing

I got the second issue of Brette's comic today in the mail. And really, it couldn't have been better timing.

I've been in not such a great mood lately, due mostly to lots of self-analysis with the help of my somewhat new foray into seeing a therapist. It's been good up until recently. And it's still good. Just, um, a bit harder.

Anyway, after a weekend of terrible weather (I was supposed to be camping) and no heat in my house, I left this morning to head to work in an unsurprisingly foul mood. I was expecting the worst from today.

I left work to come home and meet the heat fixing guy who said repairs could be anywhere from $66 to $2800. I got home expecting to need a new heating unit and having to forsake travel all of next year to pay for it, when I found Narrow Bridge in my mailbox.

And then the nice repair man found an unconnected wire which took him 5 minutes and $66 to fix. Since I could've fixed it myself if I bothered to take the thermostat apart I was still a little annoyed, but hey I didn't need to deplete my savings. And my house isn't uncomfortably-chilly-but-not-quite-cold-enough-to-leave anymore.

And back at work, I went to a good meeting where I felt useful and productive.

And after another unfortunate couple of hours of a bad day, I had a fantastic yoga class, and then I finally got to read Narrow Bridges. And it was great!

Surprise mail from a friend goes a long way toward brightening a day. Thanks Brette!
