Did I miss a full moon?

These last 5 days have been a real chore. Here is a chort list of crisis that have conspired to throw down a butt kicking I have not seen in a long time.
Favorite dog having medical-food issues
Mom backing into my truck
Moms car refusing to start
Tenant having a leaking washer
Tenant still having a leaking washer
Tenant breaking the faucet on kitchen sink
Another trucking company breaking a trailer in half
Making good money, but not great money this month
New tenant renting apartment
Grandmother getting grumpy with the new living situation
Cousin flying in for vist
Aunt flying in for visit
Another cousin flying in this coming weekend
Painter showing up and doing half ass job
Normally I try to lead a pretty level- no drama life style. I dont like boring, but I do not appreciate over the top drama. So now it is one day after most of the drama and I am mentally and physically exhausted. Fortunately I am able now to come home and even if it is 105 outside I have an inside trainer for the bike, so I can hop on, turn on the tube and tune out on reality and tune in to the bicycle for 60 minutes worth of sweat therapy. This always seems to reset my outlook and all of a sudden you start looking at the other side of all the drama.
My relatives are here to visit which is a good thing.
Moms car was aminor issue and it is back up and running
Grandmother is lined up for a better living situation with more one on one care
The dog has settled down a little and is having a string of good days
Work is going well this month and we will have the better numbers to prove it
Thanks bike for a little sanity at 18mph.
