A little piece of Heaven

It was kind of funny this morning as my roommate made the comment, as I must be feeling better. I had to explain to him that I am the type of person that gets things done no matter how I feel. That is the way I was brought up. So unless I’m total killed over in pain or throwing up uncontrollably, I will get the necessities done in life. And for this morning that included getting up, out of bed, showering, eating a healthy breakfast and getting off to work early.  After spending way too many hours stressing about my finances this weekend I didn’t have to think twice about calling in sick. I had to make it in to work to achieve my financial goals. Even thought as I laid there in bed listen to the rain beating down I didn’t have any desire to summons myself out of bed.  And I have to say driving to work wasn’t any better. I sort of drove in a fog, took a very scenic route to work as I was totally out of it and kept thinking about how much I just wanted to go home get back in bed and cry.  But I made it to work and doing my best to focus on what is at hand. So far I have successful done some research and edited and ordered a new copy of the book I’ve been working on.

And in all this stress I do have so very much to be thankful for. On our way to work on Friday my roommate noticed that my front headlight was out and pulled me over on the side of the road to inform me and told me if I bought it he’d install it. Wow! I impressed with his ability and generosity. I’ve never had someone do that for me. I’ve always been the one to install headlights, change windshield wiper blades and car batteries.  And as it turned out on Friday after Josh took me to my doctor’s appointment he asked me to install his new windshield wiper blades for him, what can I say, I’m the go to person for everything under the sun.  So it was nice to know that when I got home I would be able to hand the baton to someone else.  And I’m happy to say by Sunday night I had a working headlight.  It’s such a change to live with someone that does so much for me and asks so little of me.  I have to say I’m loving this arrangement of being the rentor.   I have to say he’s quite resourceful too.  Before my roommate went out on Sunday to run errands he asked me if there was anything that I’d like. I mentioned to him that I’d like some of these sweet potato chips, but can’t find them. To my amazement he went to the computer, goggled them and found them, by pictures as I had no idea what brand they were, then he found there website and was able to locate a local store that had them. And then he made a special trip to the store while out to get them for me. Wow, I have to say I was impressed by his resourcefulness and the time he took to get them for me. If I were him while I was out I would of looked down the chip isle and if they weren’t there reported back no such luck. I’m just not much of a shopper these days and if the item isn’t at Costco or Raley’s it just doesn’t get purchased.

Living here is turning out to be my own little piece of heaven. And after I’ll I’ve been though I seriously deserve it.
