On the Bright Side

On the bright side:

•  The slippers I wanted were back in stock, and the 5-10 day shipping ended up being two day shipping (perk of living close to all the shipping distribution sites in Kentucky). I have warm, cozy slippers.
• Millie loves playing at the play place in the mall. Her mom doesn't care for it, but she can spend hours going up the small stairs and down the small slide.
• We had story time yesterday that kept us busy and out of the house all morning.
• I'm still pregnant (one week from today is my due date), so I don't have a small baby.
• The dishwasher needed ran, clothes need washed and dried and dinner needed cooked in the oven.
• We like snuggling together as a family, reading books, telling stories, watching "shows" on phones and playing games while cuddled under blankets.
• I bought a couple space heaters last year on clearance at Target, for our emergency preparedness stash.
• Our house is small.

On the not so bright side:

• It's colder than it's been in a while.
• Our furnace broke yesterday. It blows cold air constantly unless we turn it off at the breaker.

A repairman is coming this afternoon, but until then, we're congregating in the living room with space heaters running full-force. I'd remark on the joys of home ownership, but we've had worse situations while renting, and we weren't in control of it then. So here's to appreciating central air when it works flawlessly.
