A Fairytale Ending

Bad news - It wasn't the plumbing. The leak actually got worse! In an act of desperation, I lived without air conditioning for a few days and spent another day working from home while waiting for a repair man.
Good news - It was the AC, I have a home warranty, and the leak is now fixed.

Bad news - It is going to take me twice as long to get settled because the movers did such a terrible job. Despite me giving them instruction to where my furniture SHOULD be placed, I ended up with a bookcase and twin mattress in my guest bathroom.
Good news - I'll have access to plenty good "bathroom reading material" and will have an especially short trip when I wake up in the middle of the night having to "go." (Just kidding.) In reality, the good news is that I think I might actually see a muscle forming from having to rearrange...

Bad News - Mom was the in the hospital the bulk of last week. They took a bone marrow sample and found "bad cells." She was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, also known as MDS or preleukemia. While it isn't a "full-blown" case of leukemia, it can progress into acute myelogenous leukemia. She had to receive several transfusions, but was released this weekend. She'll be staring chemotherapy soon.
Good News - My mom is such a strong woman. She battled breast cancer a few years ago. Although I know she is scared and is in a bit of pain from her hospital visit, she remains optimistic.

Bad News - Recently, I have felt so alone. I know I should be happy that I have fulfilled my dream of becoming a home owner. It is just hard to sit back and enjoy it when there are so many things to worry about.
Good News - I have awesome friends who constantly remind me that I am NOT alone. My support net is very strong. A few days ago, I got an email from Angey, one of my biggest cheerleaders. The email said, "This DEFINITELY made me think of you!" and had the attached story:

Once upon a time, a guy and a girl fell in love and were married. The guy treated her like crap, but rather than taking it, the girl set off to start a new life for herself. She summoned up the strength to get a divorce and spent the rest of her life shopping and drinking martinis with friends. She always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny, was never farted on, and lived happily ever after.

I've seen a few different versions of this story on the web, but it was JUST what I needed to hear. True, bad things do happen (as they say, "that's life"). But, I have the love and support of friends, awesome parents, and my very own fairytale ending. :-D
