1) that the flooded basement did not ruin my potatoes
2) that DH took control of cleaning up and hiring a plumber rather than being paralyzed by worrying
3) it looks like my 2lb fluctuation was water weight after all
4) the weather is absolutely beautiful right now
5) even though the dog hid when I tried to take him for a run last night, once we got outside he enjoyed himself

Seriously seriously seriously grateful!

DH just called. He has a job! He's been in school for engineering but there haven't been a lot of opportunities here, so I've been stressing about 1)staying single income; or 2) him moving somewhere else to work and coming home on weekends; or 3) giving up the job I love and uprooting the kids to move somewhere else. But he just got off the phone with a guy and it's a local job and something he would like to do. So there's just such a huge enormous gigantic relief and I am so grateful there are really no words.
