Could definitely use an extended joy inventory for today.
- I did some training with a coworker today who is super sweet and patient and gives clear explanations.
- I have health insurance to cover prenatal care for Jane.
- When my car died today, I was already parked in a safe place in decent weather. While it does suck that the car died, it was not dangerous.
- I have insurance to pay for the tow.
- I have a go-to brother-in-law to let me know what I should be looking for and how much it should cost. He even sent me youtube links of how to fix the problem ourselves at home.
- Also the tow guy was remarkably friendly and easy to talk to. He had a picture of his 4 kiddos taped to his dash (oldest is 6, youngest are 1-year-old twins) and he was super happy to talk about them. It was sweet.
- Even though Jack is swamped with school, he still found time to figure out what parts we need and put them on hold to pick up later today.
- The dog downstairs has, at least for now, shut up. (This may be more of Insidious Joy Inventory but I'll take it.)
- After I got home, Eddie called me just to chat. It was nice catching up with him, and somehow telling him about the various things going wrong made them seem funny. I don't know, I just ended up laughing a lot. Now I really do feel much better.
