I digress

Literally 15 minutes after the last post, the world cracked open. I am a believer in all things happen in threes. Here are the three:

5:00pm, March 18: Kobe swallowed diabetes meds and was rushed to the vet and then the pet ER. Damn dog. He's ok now, but it was pretty scary :(

7:10pm, March 18: Mom calls. Grandma fell on her cruise ship and broke her hip. Surgery scheduled and half a hip replaced. Stuck in Cali for a week or so, mama goes to be with her.

Deep breath, Saturday is a little better with a visit from the twins and my BFF. Took some hilarious pictures.

Sunday: Jim (father in law) falls of the ladder and cracks his knee. Needs surgery.

At this point, I start laughing, which is completely socially unacceptable, but what do you do? I contemplated padding for the rest of the week. All in all, everyone is going to be ok. Kobe is fine and GG and Jim will recover with time.

I'm trying to react in a positive manner to everything that happens this week and not let things stress me out mostly due to the fact that I have no control over any of it. I take deep breaths and say a short prayer. I try to spread joy to others because it makes me feel good to do it.

I am counting this as being a better person.
