Mrs Brightside

After my massive mini meltdown, over all of my hire car problems, on Friday. I decided to look on the bright side. Yes it is just plain old bad luck that my car is ruined through no fault of my own. Yes it is ridiculous that I will be without a car for close to a week, because of some ridiculous policies and promises that were made by my insurance company, that I was given the privelege of paying for, that are not even going to happen. And yes it is unfortumate that this all falls on the four days of holidays that we should be enjoying together, that is supposed to keep us going until the time we have booked of work at Christmas time.

Yes, all of that just plain sucks.

BUT, what is the bright side of all of this? I get four days off with my family. That doesn't change. We have no car, but that means we can enjoy other things . It means we have four whole days with nowhere to be, no deadlines, no rushing. Just us.

These are my favourite kind of days and it almost got lost in amongst my desire to enjoy our days off together by cramming them with activities. So far we have enjoyed a nice cozy weekend of puzzles and board games, baking and long lazy pyjama mornings with pancake breakfasts. All of my favourite things.

I finally got my autumn/ halloween wreath done , even though i just had to have the fabric back in September because it just couildn't wait! Clearly it could have waited a leeetle longer lol.

And my poor wee chicken is sick. She has a terrible cough and cold with a high temp. So we are going to enjoy the rest of our Sunday afternoon snuggled up drinking cosy juice and watching tv.

We are also super lucky in that our family all live close by and are very generous at offering help with any supermarket trips or necessary driving needing done. My in laws are even going to come pick us up later so we can visit with them and have dinner cooked for us! Not too shabby after all :-)
