Downs and Ups

Today, I woke up bummed out (probably had a bad dream). I just felt down. I got up, unpacked my new bakery display case and found it was broken. Called the company, they said they'd figure something out. Felt really bummed out. Started to make bolussen, four batches, so that I'd have enough for next week too and the kitchenaid broke. Sinking feeling in pit of stomach. Made four batches of bolussen by hand (I'm sure my arms will be sore tomorrow).
I rarely have a thoroughly bad day, but today I just woke up into one. I'm also migrainy again. Or still? It's been every day this week, just enough to take medicine, but not enough to stop me from working--thankfully. I read today and yesterday in Matthew. About not worrying about tomorrow. Seeking God's kingdom first and all of those good things. God has a sense of humor.

I took apart the kitchenaid and realized that I had just worn one of the cogs in the gear out. The part is about $5, the grease for the kitchenaid $20. But much better than $500 or so for a new kitchenaid!
The company hadn't called back (like they said they would) about the display case, but I opened up my email and found they had emailed instead. Their supplier felt that the break was a defect and was willing to replace the whole unit. So, I am now being sent a new display case, and apparently I get to keep this one (although I am still waiting to see about that).
I also got a call about a potential wedding cake order, I won't find out until next week if it will go through, but here's hoping!

The day has improved.
