Making Lemonade

Although life’s dramas sometimes get me down, particularly when the bad things all happen at once, I always manage to get over it fairly quickly and to make the best of things. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade! Life’s all too short and it’s a shame to waste it feeling cranky, things are as they are and no amount of swearing, crying or fuming will change that. This week I’m learning patience, and what’s really important in life, which is NOT cable TV.

So, feeling much more positive today I have decided that if nothing happens with Cablemas tomorrow, to buy myself another Dvd player. The cheapest I’ve seen is about $25 which in the whole scheme of things is nothing, and then at least I will have a spare, or I can use it in the guest bedroom when I eventually get another TV for there. Hopefully it will last until the other one comes back from the repairer!

I also realised that there is something I CAN do at the moment with my laptop, which is starting to make up the pages of a book of info for my guests when I rent the apartment. What buses to catch to the various shopping centres, where to go for internet, which Laundromat is best, recommended cafes, etc. That’s a task which will take quite some time, including research about prices and websites. I can make a start now and then fill in the extra info I get from the net once it’s connected here.
