Apologies for Lamest Winter Storm EVAR
I actually consider this to be Divine Intervention in my life. See, mid last week, I decided it was time to make the call to take Chimee to the vet, but with all the Dr appts I had last week, I couldn't figure out to work the logistics out. I resolved to call at the begining of this week, but then there was the whole iced in hill thing. I didn't want HRH driving the MG on the ice (he didn't want HRH driving the MG on the ice, either), so I'd been sending him off to work in the Green Ninja. Again, logistics FAIL. I was really getting anxious about this storm and wondering how I was going to do right by Chimee with another layer of ice closing in. I was worried that with the way things were going, Chimee would take a serious turn for the worse (more serious than the one he'd already taken), and I'd be powerless to do anything about it because of the ice.
Then several things happened:
1. The temperature rose enough that the remaining ice on our hill melted (a balmy 40 degrees!)
2. HRH decided to work from home this afternoon in order to avoid a snow hysteria induced 5 hour commute
3. Said snow failed entirely to materialize.
4. A call to the vet (who's busy enough that she's not taking new clients) revealed that she had a slot available at exactly the time I needed.
I told HRH not too long ago that I always believe that I will never be given more to deal with than I can handle, and it's one of the things that makes me think that there's more than just chaos running the universe. What I don't know is if it is in fact the case that I'm never given more than I can handle or if my belief that I'll never be given more than I can handle is self-fulfilling. The other more convincing thing, though, that makes me think that there's more than meets the eye is the way that the world will sort of reorder itself around me in my time of need. There are times when I know what the right thing to do is and I don't see any way to get it done, and then it's like the stars align in a totally unexpected way to make the right thing possible if only I'll reach out and take the opportunity that's presented. This was one of those times.
