99 Problems

Problems, that's what I've got.  Yep.  Things are bad here.  For example, 

1. My downstairs-still-under-warranty-furnace is out.  Upstairs?  Oh, we're a toasty 68 degrees, but that dang downstairs...
2. I couldn't find my chocolate buttercream recipe that uses cocoa, so I had to use the melted chocolate one.   Oh the humanity!
3. We don't have enough space in our house for all of our new toys, and so we might have to do some organizing. 
4. I have a family I love so much that I cry when I leave them.  That loving family, well, it seems to be my cross to bear in this life.

I could go on.  Really.  My new under-cabinet lighting, well, one of the pucks flickers.  Yep.  And we were given a chest freezer and I don't know where to put it.  I know, it's just depressing.  Oh, Duke?  Well, don't even get me started on Duke.  

He has been eyeballing me like that all day.  I don't know if I can stand it any more.

I may have 99 problems, but I'll tell you this - they're all first-world problems.  There's a site dedicated to them.  Are they annoying to us, yes.  Are they actually problems??  You tell me:

“I have caviar stuck in my braces.”

“My golf cart stalled. Now I have to hitch a ride with the people we let play through.”

“The turn signal on the car ahead of me doesn’t match the rhythm of the song I’m listening to on the radio.”

“My phone doesn’t have a data plan, so all I can do on it is text and call people.”

Yeah... problems... no...

Want to know what actually  is WAS a problem?  Drinking water.  Want to know why it's not now?  Because the goal was met!

I mean, you can keep giving, but this well is overflowing.  You all gave, and now people we will never meet can have clean drinking water.   I have complained about the too-hot water that flows from my kitchen sink at the turn of a knob.  These people will finally be able to wash their dishes, and not in the same river where they clean the animals.  A-mazing.   I never told Shannan, but it was my half-believed -whispered-prayer-wish that the goal would be met by the end of the year.  I wished this when we were still at 4K, 'round'bout December 10.  Yep.  And God said "BOOM."  Done.  Merry Christmas to me.

Merry Christmas to you,too,
