Well, to the government, bank, and school kids who got to take the day off today :).
I found myself at my desk for the day, battling an onslaught of client fires that burned heavy throughout most of the day, and will probably need final extinguishing tomorrow. It was one of those days, one of those Mondays, one of those times. I've prayed consistently for calm nerves during this time of personal adjustment with Joe being gone, but today I made the subconscious mistake of bringing a semi-frazzled past few days with me to the office. Here's where I publicly admit that I left work in tears that'd I'd built up past capacity over the course of the day. Meltdown.

Thankfully, Lara had been so helpful and kind to pick Sydni up from our on-base provider an hour earlier than normal, so Syd was at the Babots when I got there. I ended up spontaneously staying for dinner, which turned into a fiasco of its own sort when Lara's neighbor realized she'd locked her infant daughter in the van after pulling into their garage. In the brief time it took for me to catch up on her day, I instantly came to the conclusion that my day, my Monday, my life is absolutely nothing to have gotten so worked up over. [In case you're wondering, seg-fo and the locksmith were very prompt in resolving the locked van issue.] Ultimately, I'd had a rough day, I'd seen a rougher day, and through it all I both saw the greater haves in my sitation than the have-nots, and had dinner with one of the sweetest gals around.
All in all, win-win.
I'll try and that that to work tomorrow and see how that changes things. ;)
