when it rains it pours

Today was a rough day.  I have no energy but I thought I'd document the precipitation.
  • My credit card was used fraudulently and I had to cancel IT and my debit card and I still don't have any idea what exactly happened.
  • I'm sick.  I thought it was allergies but it's definitely a head cold.  Stuffy head, sore throat, body aches, exhaustion.
  • Our next door neighbor's dog escaped it's house today and nipped at one of the chickens.  The chickens were inside their coop, thankfully, but somehow Chicky-Chick was injured.  Her comb was ripped.  My neighbor besty came and successfully performed an emergency comb removal (called 'dubbing' in chicken-ese).  I almost pee'd my pants and threw up and passed out at the same time.  It was awful but we were all troopers.  I am hoping that Chicky will recover nicely.  The bleeding hasn't quite stopped but it is slowing.  My heart drops everytime I think about her.

Bonus rays of sunshine in my day:

  • PSE came and picked up my old refrigerator, they said they'd be at my house between 8-12pm and they were there about 7:55.  Early and awesome so I was glad that I could carry on with my day and not wait around.
  • Discover card is a great card company to work with if you do have fraudulent charges.  They were AWESOME to talk with and were more than helpful. 
  • My besty-neighbor Claire brought me AND the girls dinner.  As if that wasn't awesome enough, she actually brought me a cheeseburger (gf bun!) from my favorite local burger joint.  Love that woman.
  • Joel brought me home a Diet Coke from McDonald's too, and he's the best husband ever.
  • I went visiting teaching also and had a chance to laugh with some women I really love. 
  • My girls played so nicely today while we were surgifying the chicken AND while I dozed off and on after naptime.
  • I did the budget today and I managed to stay in budget last pay period.  Been a while but I did it.
