I had my really bad day on Sunday. The puppy we got two weeks ago had another seizure and died. My DH's 12-yo son was supposed to come spend the Christmas holiday with us, now his Mom said she's not going to let us pick him up (we had planned to do the round-trip from NC to MD this week, she choose Sunday to tell us she changed her mind).
BUT - I got home from a little bit of shopping today, and Santa's elves had fixed the bottom of our driveway where it was badly washed out. As I'm unemployed, and my DH's work is slow around the holidays, we were living with it until we get extra money later on. There were people working on the roads in our neighborhood, and they graded the worst of it out, and even put pavement on the lower 4'. I don't know if they had extra they needed to get rid of, or just felt really bad for us - but it was truly a wonderful thing to come home to. My DH tracked them down as they were putting their equipment up for the night and tipped them. I hope they know much it meant to us.
