Mom doing well

As my brother, a philosophy major, said: “Things are neither as bad nor as good as they may seem.”

Videotape

This morning I went by the 7-11 where my stolen cards were used, and, as promised last night, they did have videotape of the 4 teens/young adults who stole my cards.

Theft

So this is the first day since last Friday that I actually felt well enough to go to work, and what happens?! Four kids (late teens, early 20s maybe) come into my workplace, ask to use the bathroom, distract me and steal my bank cards out of my purse.

my favorite web author

Lately, when 4 am hot flashes wake me up, I surf the web and turn to my favorite web author, discovered on Blogher: Birdie Jaworski. She writes gems of stories, about what makes us human and how we give each other little bits of hope. Two favorites: The Day Scotty Saved the Future and Tribe.
