a rotten sort of day...

Nothing went wrong for me or Dan or the kids, but I got a lot of bad news about other people today.

Last week a friend's elderly mother fell down. Today I found out that the mother broke both of her forearms and has both arms in casts. I am going to have to call her soon and see if there is anything I can do to help her out, as she will be missing quite a bit of work to care care of the mother.

And I found out that a lady I have known for about twenty years has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This is one of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet, some one who is always thinking about other people before herself.
