Yeah, so today wasn’t the best day. Thank you all so much for your supportive comments on my laptop disaster post.
After my mid-run breakdown, I refused to stay in a funk all day and decided to turn it around. First, I made myself a healthy, delicious meal. I wanted to head straight to Yogurtland to console myself, but decided to put the treats on hold because of Easter. (Truthfully, I ended up eating a few 100 calorie packs of cookies later in the day.)
I thanked my cat for killing a bee that got in our condo.
He avenged my stinging!
Then, I headed to my mom’s. I just needed to see family, eat “family” food and relax with people I love. I immediately raided the fridge. 
I decided to wash my car and my brother Michael, kept me company.
Now my car is a much nicer canvas for my new RER bumper magnets!
Good News! My day turned around because my mom has an extra laptop I traded for an extra TV we had! Score! And she had ridiculous amounts of guacamole from her avocado trees! Double score!!! I wiped that tupperware clean.
The final way I turned my bad day into a good one = spent time with my dogs. Hi Rox!
We all went a long walk. Ahhhh, it was cathartic. 
Now I’m cuddling up with a bowl of granola and Ben. It’s going to be okay 🙂
Right after tomorrow morning’s group run I am headed for a root canal – wish me luck!!!
SO glad your day turned around! How lucky your mom had an extra laptop!
I wish I had an avocado tree, but im pretty sure being from NJ thats not going to happen any time soon :O
I’m sorry to hear about your laptop! You know I once got stung by a bee while on a run, too…it stung me on my head and the bee actually got tangled in my sweaty hair! It was horrible…absolutely horrible, but I think I hit a 7:00 minute mile sprinting home afterward, lol…small victories 😉
glad your day turned around 🙂
That is so cool that you have family to lean on when the going gets rough!
good luck today Monica!!!!
Guacamole will save any situation!!! And thank goodness for bee hunting cats. When our dogs find bugs, they just bat them around and try to play with them!
I’m pretty sure guacamole can turn any bad day around! I hope your root canal is totally painless!
Total score for being able to turn your day around!! Family time is the best solution for a not so hot day! I’m glad yours were able to help you out.
PS I love your bumper magnet. 🙂
i’m so glad to see you were able to turn your day around! bartering is the one thing that will get us through life, trade and trade again! haha!
So glad your day got better! Love that your cat killed the bee for you…cats are just that good!
That is a sweet deal you worked out with your mom, mom’s are pretty darn amazing!
Hope the rest of the weekend goes good!
Mmmmm guacamole. I wish I had an avocado tree!
Guacamole is the best dip ever!! And dogs always seem to know how to make you feel better
Hope your group run goes well!
Good luck! I hope it goes smoothly. You’ll be done before you know it.
Good for you for finishing a bad day on a positive note. I find food, family and pets always do the trick when I’m having a bad day!
Good Luck on the root canal!
How awesome! I’m glad you were able to turn your bad day around….and score a laptop from your mom.
Sending prayers and good wishes to you as you have that root canal today.
