So I walked downstairs at 6:30am to find that our personal dishes shelf had given way sometime between midnight and 2:30am. Broken glass was all over the floor in front of the counter. 1) Luckily the blender on the counter stopped most of the stuff from continuing onto the floor to its death which the one summer help had forgotten to put away after making a smoothie. Had it gone down we would have had smoothie leftover along with broken glass. 2) Thankfully none of our guests dishes, etc were kept in that area or needed to be prepared over there. 3) No one was in the kitchen when it happened. All hands were called to help whether they had breakfast duty or not. It was all cleaned up and breakfast ready before I had to leave at 7:45am to go meet friends off 95 so my mom had a way back home. The friends got lost so we spent more time than I had figured on trying to find them and switching Mom and suitcases from one vehicle to another. I returned back to the inn after stopping at the store for items to start on cleaning the rooms to find out that the one summer help was back upstairs so nothing had been started and breakfast needed to be cleared, dishes washed, etc. After cleaning the rooms and between switching laundry over I hauled everything off the counter and went through it all to make sure nothing had broken glass and all dishes left was in one piece and ran through the dishwasher. I limped upstairs and collapsed into bed with the knowledge that breakfast making came too early the next day…. I have recovered except for I redid my arch in on my foot…. I spent the afternoon with my foot up. But look on the bright side, tomorrow's another day….
 
I am so sorry. What a nightmare. At least Mom is home, all for done (you ARE a trooper), and a new day dawned.
I hope Sunday was better and that Monday will be even better.
 
That is probably one of my dreadest (is there such a word?) fears. Lots of broken glass. I worry and thinking about, "did I get every sliver of glass?" So sorry about your Saturday morning and foot. Hope the time with your Mom was extra special and that your attitude stays hopeful for a better day! Keep your chin up, or is it your foot up.
 
Rest that foot lest you end up in cast like me. Rest, rest, rest...I know...impossible in this season. Still, be careful or you will end up sidelined whether you want it or not!
 
Tomorrow is here. I am hoping all is a slower day for you. But do be careful with your foot. Rest the foot now will pay off in the long run. Listen to SP .
 
Sunday afternoon I had my foot up and got to sleep in Monday. Sunday afternoon we got a call saying that this guest was on her way to us when she looked at her reservation and she made it for next week instead of this week! We had a room but not the room she had reserved for next week. So they are happy. Monday so far is good! My foot feels well. My Mom made it home safe and sound. Yes Figurehead, we had a wonderful time even with me out of it the first week of her visit with the foot.
