Mettle

mettle - noun. a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.

The world above was one of many that we worked through in T-man’s LA homework. And I couldn’t think of a better way to describe our family we right now. We are all showing our mettle in the current situation. We finally completed the homework after 60+ minutes of frustrations, learning and laughs. Between that and all the work Marshall is doing to help D-man with his science research, we are all ready for a break. 

The cleaning crew started today and I became very stressed about the job they were doing and if they will do it right. And then worry about the next steps and being taken advantage of by insurance. This is the next step in a multistep process and we don’t continue to take it day by day. 

Yesterday, we were able to get out of our current reality and celebrate Australia Day with the Wrights. They are now in an Airbnb a block from downtown so we grabbed a drink at Waterloo before celebrating with meat pies, Australian wine and Aussie desserts. Spending time with good friends was definitely good for the soul. Lots of laughs on the craziness of our situations - the Wrights with a plumbing problem causing all sorts of ceiling damage and us with two cars in trouble and mice in the ducts. It is seriously a lot, but this too shall pass. May we continue to show our mettle through it all.
