Well, yesterday felt like a Mercury retrograde kind of day. Was it? I have no idea, but everything seemed to be going wrong. First, my knee scooter had a flat tire. One of the maintenance guys at school told me the inner tube was popped. Not only that, but the back wheel was bent, which explained why the handbrake kept getting stuck. He suggested I return it to the manufacturer. That meant I was on crutches all day, traveling from one side of the campus to the other. Not an easy task. Then, one of my clients failed to get back to me, leaving me to wonder whether or not I was tutoring after school. As I waited for her text or phone call, my iPhone died! Nothing. It flatlined. Okay, no scooter, no phone, and no work. Despair began to press down on me like my own personal rain cloud. Move over, Eyore!
Well, I went online, and Amazon immediately sent out a replacement scooter and told me I had 30 days to return the old one at $0 cost to me. The new scooter will be on my doorstep in two days! It's a minor miracle of customer service. Then, one of the tech guys at work taught me a trick for rebooting my iPhone. Hold down the on/off button and the circular menu finger indentation at the same time for about 10 seconds. It worked! My phone is fine. And, finally, my client emailed me saying she had her dates mixed up and asked if I would please come work with her daughter. Yes!
If life is a work in progress, with little glitches along the way, my life is moving along just fine. Obstacles are only that if they cannot be fixed. I feel lucky. Every glitch had an easy resolution. There is no sense falling into despair until a little time has passed. So often, events just need time to work themselves out.
