Unanticipated Monday

Last week at this time, we were coping with work and planning ahead to my "procedure", which was scheduled for this morning.  After spending Sunday sipping liquids and other nasty stuff, Boris and I would be up and out early this Monday, the deed would be done and Boris would deposit my sleepy self at home for a day of rest and recuperation. 

Fast forward one week and, as it turns out, we've had quite the unanticipated Monday.  We're coping with work no more because work no longer exists.  With our corporate-provided health insurance expiring at 12:01 a.m. on Friday (Thank you oh so very much!) we weren't exactly sure when and where COBRA would kick in.  So, after several somewhat panicked phone calls on Friday afternoon, I cancelled the procedure.  After all, it's not an emergency.  I can easily get this thing rescheduled after we have COBRA up and running.

Besides, after the day we had, I just have to say there wasn't a spare minute for rest and recuperation!  Our unanticipated Monday started very early.  (Funny how easy it is to get up when there's stuff you want to do instead of stuff you have to do!) By the time when Boris would've been dropping me home to rest up, we had so much stuff going on around here, my head was spinning.  After all, it's Monday.  By now, people we've worked with are starting to hear the news.  And, they're contacting us about it.  We were writing and responding to emails and phone calls much of the morning.  Had I been recovering from "the procedure" I would've missed it all.  

So many "to-dos" were checked off today.  Finally, we feel like we're making real progress. And, we are so grateful for all the pre-work we did do.  At long last, we now have the time to get the rest of it done. 

Oh, what a difference a week makes!

Happy Monday!
