Blessing in Disguise

I have been through so many situations of blessings in disguise.
The latest is right now. I should have left for two weeks at the sea today. I would have been baby-sitting for a boy of four (I did this last year and it went fine and I was looking forward to going this year too). I also work in an hotel doing relief receptionist work. They need me there at the moment and so I could not go to the sea. Just as well because here summer is very late arriving and we get nothing but cold and rain. What would it have been like at the sea I hate to think!
It happens that in the call center where I work in the afternoons the phone lines go dead and they send us home on full pay. What do I do? I come here on myLot - and that is a real blessing in disguise
