It's been a weird week. Nothing's happening, really, is maybe why it's weird. We get up, we go about the business of our day, after Dex goes to bed I read a book. Somehow, I've read THREE books in the past week. HMMM. Maybe that's why nothing is happening. It's fun to be reading again, though. I joined a book club with the MOMS club, and I'm supposed to be reading The Hunger Games, but I haven't been able to lay my hands on a copy yet. So I'm reading all the other books I got at a used book sale a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, I just finished my latest book this evening (Lost and Found, by Carolyn Parkhurst. It was fine) and opened my computer to check my email. And was saddened by a note from a friend that her mom had passed away this afternoon. Her mom was pretty young, healthy, and had a really rare form of cancer. I'd met her only a handful of times, but she was a lovely woman and I am saddened by her death. And a little helpless. A little not sure what I can do, beyond be sad for my friend and her family.
Then, because I am trying to avoid the sadness like I always do, I check Facebook. And see that my sister has posted this:
Dear lord, I love her. I've watched this video no less than 20 times this evening. John keeps shaking his head, wondering how I am still laughing. "It's not THAT funny," he says. Yes, but if it's keeping me from crying right now, I'll take it.
Bawk. Raww. Please pass me an egg. Or five.
