Some days are rougher than others and although I’m generally upbeat, last night things caught up with me. It started when I accidentally knocked over the quart can (about 2/3 full) of wood stain and inadvertently stained not only a section of floor I wasn’t ready to stain, but parts of the TV table and DVD cases as well and some drops managed to get around or under all that onto the newly-painted walls. It’s the sort of night when I realize that not only is my husband on his own six hours away, but I’m on my own, too. Then this morning, I read I shouldn’t slide anything across refinished floors until they’re thoroughly dry–three to four months!! Since my time frame is more like three to four days at most, how do I safely get the furniture back into its original location when there are pieces I can’t lift by myself? (One possible answer is to get our realtor to help when he stops over to look at the house tonight–and I did.)
Enough whining. You get the idea. Into the midst of my pity party, the following video arrived and made me feel a lot better (as did a phone call from a friend). This is the sort of thing I love to hear about sports and the people in them, juxtaposed against scandals of various sorts that grab the headlines. Please take just a minute and watch. This seven-year-old boy struggling against brain cancer is a huge fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers (as am I–full disclosure) and here’s what the Huskers did for him during their intra-squad game. It will give you goosebumps and possibly bring tears to your eyes.
It also put my “problems” in perspective. Maybe it will yours, too.
This, that and the other thing
