A Day....

You know, there are some days you just want to be done with - and this would be one of them.

My day started with a modicum of dread - had a lunch meeting with someone I would not choose to break bread together with on any kind of regular basis....but it was/is church business, and the person is a church employee - so I can suck it up for the greater good..... So, lunch is progressing, the conversation is somewhat awkward and my cell phone rings...

I check the caller ID and know that "I know" the number....but can't place it....and decide I'll be rude and pick up the call. It was the brother-in-law calling from the ED at Clarian North....Sara is sick and in the ED - he needs to leave for class and doesn't want Amy stuck there alone. Well - it was "high oh Silver" for me, I was gone.

There is a reason I have never been, nor will ever be a pediatric nurse.....oh, there is nothing more tragic than a sick kid....and when it is a child you love - well, game, set, and match over! Sara seems to have something viral - and is still pretty puny.

After getting everyone home I got to go to the grocery, for the first time in three weeks....hey, I had to go - the milk was going bad, the bread was stale, and I didn't have any eggs!

Meeting at church tonight - home around 2000...

Yeah, I'm pretty much ready to close the chapter on this particular day.
