And sometimes the power gets shut off

Here it is February and my blog has definitely taken a backseat in my life. I work at least 9 hour days with no lunch break and come home to either veg out because I'm so tired or run to the 15 things I've got going on.
My job has added new stress to my life that I've never known before. It actually gives me nightmares. The lady that I work with is now on maternity leave for 2 months and I've been training to take over her responsibilities while training another girl to take over mine. I don't know if I'm the world's worst trainer or if she's just the slowest learner, but it's taken a long time and we've still got a ways to go. Wednesday was the first day with Becky gone and it went okay, but not great. Thursday though, man Thursday made Wednesday look like a piece of cake. Today was inventory so we were trying to get everything in the computer. I'm working away only to get a phone call from my roommate telling me the power had been shut off. Two of my roommates are moving and we had to switch the utilities from their names to mine and I tried to call, but I had been given the wrong number and I thought it went until today, but alas, no. Shut off. So I am forced to take a break from work to call to get our power turned back on. Lots of dinero and tears later, power is back on, BUT me, being the crier I am, continued crying for the rest of the day. The stress of the day had been tipped by the power being shut off. WORST. DAY. EVER.
I text my old home teacher and asked if he'd come give me a blessing, he said sure.  I then worked until 6:20 trying to get everything in the computer and would have stayed later, but I had a dinner date with my cousin for my birthday. Dinner was lovely and then we headed back to my house to pick up her dresses she had been storing at my house. I walk into the house and what happens, but the lights pop on and people jump out yelling "SURPRISE!!" And what a surprise it was. It was great to have everyone come over to surprise me and celebrate my birthday.
Old home teacher stayed the entire time so he could give me a blessing after everyone left. It was really great. God really does know me. He knows each of us and is blessing us so much more than we recognize.
Sometimes the power gets shut off, but maybe that's just so God can show you the bright spirits of His children that He has placed in your life.
To all those people who shine so brightly in my life, thank you. I love you. You are one of my greatest blessings.
