I did more cleaning yesterday – in an uncharacteristic rut, I guess. Or maybe I didn’t clean and when people come over and gasp, “I thought you were cleaning,” I will say that I had but the dogs and kids went wild and oh, well, this is what it is back to.

Then I went to the store and got a call that Alison, who was working her shift at the hospital, had succumbed to low potassium again and was in the ER. Of course, this day was the one that Colin had come back for a fall break visit.

It occurred to me to walk over to the walk-in freezer area and tell them I needed an emergency suspended animation . . . but I went home instead.

And this morning Summer has just come over to say, “I need socks.”
