Partly cloudy

In the past week we have had one car accident (not me, and he's fine), one fall and broken hip (mother-in-law), one wedding anniversary (I worked until ten PM and that was the day Mom fell), and one Mother's Day (I worked on that one, too).  And just now I tried to download a picture of a black cloud, which I thought would make an appropriate illustration, but I couldn't figure out how to do that either.  On Monday my e-mail at work wouldn't play with me and my fax machine decided it wasn't in the mood to send or receive (I pulled the plug, which, as in so many technical things in life, solved that problem.  Well, you have to re-start it after that.)  All in all, I would rather have phoned it all in.

Life goes like that sometimes.  I will confess I think in the last year I've had rather a large chunk of unfortunate events and perhaps more than my share, but as Buddha would say, "Suck it up, Buttercup!"  Today is a new day and I get to go to an all day meeting where lunch will be provided.  Since I don't usually get lunch, that's a big deal.  I think I'll focus on that.  But I'll watch where I'm walking and hold the railing on the stairs.  Just in case.
