When Your Ducks Aren't All In a Row
by Susan
When your ducks aren't all in a row you often feel a lot of stress, especially if you suffer from depression and/or anxiety. Most of us cherish having some sense of control in our lives and when things happen to upset our apple cart we often feel as if we no longer have any control.
This week I felt the stress of things going wrong and I felt helpless to keep them from happening. It all started when we realized we needed a new refrigerator. The compressor on the old one was making a terrible sound each time it stopped running. After several days of shopping around, we chose a new fridge which had to be ordered. We waited the specified five days and then moved our food to ice chests while the new fridge was being delivered. Well, the new fridge hums so loudly that it can easily be mistaken for the washing machine in the adjoining laundry room. It is making me even nuttier than usual!
Needless to say, we have complained to the store and they will be sending out another new refrigerator.......in another five days. We sure didn't need this unexpected expense during this sluggish economy. I guess we could consider this our Christmas present even if it isn't what we wanted. I will be thankful if we manage to get our ducks in a row by having a quiet and reliable refrigerator installed. I need to fill it with Thanksgiving food items.....before Thanksgiving. My family is coming and they will want some turkey and trimmings!

This is so true. Just when the weather
changes and each task is just a little bit harder is no time to have anything extra go awry! The waiting and trying to be patient should have a happy ending without further problems.
