Extreme Happiness

We've had a rough week. The referral we had to let go was emotional. Then I read the Hunger Games because a ton of people recommended it as soon as they heard I like Twilight. I decided, since I needed a good relaxing read, I'd give it a try. My advice to you is don't read it. It's a terrible series and I am not even close to feeling relaxed now. More like disturbed. And we have been out of the basics for awhile now... like over a week. We miss milk terribly, beans and rice has been our main meal, and my random dinner concoctions are not cutting it anymore. There is only so much you can do with beans, rice, and noodles. We should have had our groceries a while back but the airport mixed things up and sent the schools food instead (hot breakfast ingredients for testing)... which means ours is still sitting at the airport in their fridge/freezer. Our bananas will be black and some of the other fruits and veggies that are damaged will be made into purees and added to our food anyway. That part is fine I just wish we weren't waiting. There are no planes today. And I am sick again but I am blaming it on stress this time.

I got an email this morning that immediately turned my frown upside down! It's a video of us getting a box of grain sweetened chocolate chips from Joe's sister, homemade deer jerky from my Dad, minced garlic from my Ma, random foods we haven't thought to try left for us by one of the village visitors, milk from our friends in town, and the fresh fruit my Aunt Donna sent us for Christmas! Ok it's not any of those things but watch it and you'll understand.
