Finding Balance On Christmas

My yesterday looked a little bit like this:

1. Headache.
2. Mashed potato container bursting in the microwave, making a mess and messing with dinner.
3. Air conditioner leaking water all over the floor, and requiring several checks throughout the night to empty the bowl catching water until it could be fixed.
4. Broken office chair.

My today is better:

1. The headache is gone.
2. I received a box of cookies, jam, and other goodies in the mail, so mashed potatoes couldn't be further from my mind.
3. The air conditioner has been fixed, and I am reminded of one of the upsides to not owning a home - someone else has to come fix things when they break.
4. The chair is broken beyond repair, but I am making it work. As long as I don't lean back, to the left, or too far forward, it seems okay. It is all about finding the balance.

Every time I need to sit in my chair, I am going to pretend I wanted to work on my balancing abilities. By the New Year I will be a master balancer. Or I will have learned to write blog posts standing up.

(I should probably set up a video camera now, so I can make some money off of a viral video of my chair dumping me on the floor and then hitting me in the head on Christmas morning.)

I hope you find your balance this Christmas, and have a great time celebrating with your family and friends.
