Effort still counts right?

I am trying to smile damn it. It has rained on me (literally)and I have only slept 4 hours. My new pup--Baxter, insists on biting everything and I have just forked over $500 for insurance. My patience is thin and I am so stressed I have broken into hives for the 2nd time this week. That's right, 2nd time. May God give me the strength to be thankful I was able to get out of bed although I wish I had just stayed under the covers!
