Thursday was going along as a regular day. I'd just ended the 31 Day May Challenge (that I messed up on 2 days) so I won't get the "points". But a great learning experience.
Coffee and computer in the morning.
I got a call that an agent was writing an offer on one of my listings, and would I send her disclosures. Hooray!
And then it started... Potential offer on house...oh, the buyer's changed their minds.
Oh, as I was busy setting appointments online for the next day - the computer DIED! Just went black. Done. = "Honey, can I use your computer for just a few minutes? Please?" "Sure you can; soon as I get this item done in about 10 minutes." I take a shower, I put on makeup, I'm dressed & ready to go -- 45 minutes later. "Honey, can I please use your computer?" YOU know the rest of the story, right?
Oh, and in the morning the coffee pot doesn't work!!!...the morning brew overflowed because the pot wasn't put under it. And the electronics are fried.
Now in the scheme of life, none of these things are a big deal. This is not a head-on collision on the Raleigh Beltline!
Thoughts for the day:
Listing offer: GLAD I had not called the seller to tell them an offer was coming.
Coffee pot: If you put the filter in and coffee; heat up the water in the microwave and pour into basket. Wait a few minutes...I learned that the coffee is much better than when the pot worked! You know, the French press type :-)
Computer: I'm typing this post on my NEW MacBook! And even though I was using hand-me-down Mac for about a year, I didn't take the time to learn much about it. NOW I'm going to One-on-One at the Apple store, and going to become a Mac Wiz!
There are always silver linings - no matter what comes along.

Hi Nellie,
The aggravations of life!
And you respond to them one by one.
Good luck with the Mac.
Thanks for the post
PHil
You just wanted a new Mac. You can't fool us. Life always has problems. Success is based on how you handle them. Have a better day.
Phil,
Can't wait for my One-on-One's...they don't know yet that they're dealing with a woman who JUST switched to an I-Phone coming from a cell phone that couldn't even take pictures! OMG when I went in to trade in the old phone, I told them if they laughed, I'd have to throw tomatoes at them! :-) Hilarious time.
Doug,
Every day is a good day ... long as I wake up! One step at a time always works for me. (and you're right, I need to learn more about the Mac, this forces me to do it!)
LOL at the French coffee - I overflowed my coffee pot today, AGAIN. We go through a lot of coffee pots, because of my absentmindedness.
