Luna Lovin'

We are really enjoying getting to know Luna, the downs as well as the ups. We have had only a couple of accidents so mostly she is just great. She is very low-key and lies around most of the day. Here are two pictures of her in her favorite occupation:

I particularly enjoy the second picture, although I don't see how she was able to sleep for an hour like that.

Today was also the day that everything went wrong. I could make a list:

1. We took Luna out this morning and locked ourselves out of the house one hour before I was supposed to be giving a presentation at Stonehill College for some of Juan Carlos' colleagues. He had to break a window to get in.

2. Our contractor (for the basement) had to come and babysit our plumber, who did everything wrong, while we went to said meeting.

3. The inspector for the plumbing came before we got back so we had to set another appointment.

4. The plumber who moved our washer and dryer put the water pipes right in front of where the dryer vent is supposed to go out and has spent two weeks doing something other than fix our washer and dryer so JC had a miserable afternoon trying to maneuver the dryer vent through the pipes.

5. Luna peed on the floor.

6. We still can't do laundry now that the dryer is hooked up because when we went to plug it in the outlet was different from our plug. ?!?!?!?!?

With all of these things it was easy to be frustrated. However, some good things did happen today, and I was very grateful for them.

1. My friend Nancy came by to visit.

2. The town fireworks display is phenomenal and we got to watch it out our front window.

3. We had dinner with a couple in our ward, Josh and Kristen Wilde, and we really enjoyed their company.

4. Luna went pee and poo outside!

5. Our plumbing for the basement bathroom WAS, finally, approved by the inspector.

6. The gas company came and told us which meter actually belonged to us. (Apparently they are all mixed up)

So as you can see, it may sometimes feel like everything is going wrong, but lots of things do go right and it is important to remember that. Just like when you are in a traffic jam and every lane seems to be going faster than you, everyone IS actually moving at about the same speed, even though it seems like you are just sitting there. Things usualy do even out.

So it was an okay day, all things considered.
