even though it's Wednesday
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
I read this last night, on a blog, and was amazed that I hadn't read it before.
I need to print it out and hang it near my desk. (In a spot where only I can see it.)
I was a couple of hours into my day yesterday when Youngest called. He had fallen in gym class and the school nurse was pretty sure his wrist was broken. I made some arrangements, ran home, ran him to the doctor and was pretty sure it was his arm that was broken. It looks miserable but it is intact! (Yes, I can read x-rays.)
K made us a wonderful dinner (pasta, sausage, asparagus, sun-dried tomato) and then I sat with my laptop crying over this. Or maybe it was my post about about a car...I don't remember now.
It's shaping up to be a sentimental week - I did a small kindness for someone who has a job like mine (at a well-known high-end luxury brand) and she surprised me by sending a black velvet bag full of beautiful cosmetics. It was stunning. I was stunned.
Now it's Wednesday - and Survivor is on tonight and mom is bringing dinner.

Poor Youngest. Another cast?
hope youngest is better today...
(is it bad that everything I read about him makes me feel like I'm looking into a crystal ball and my boys' future??? no seriously???)
I am so happy to hear your arm did not break.
No, really.
I find it amazing that there can be such lovely people in a place like The Big Tuvalu. Usually everyone looks so darn COLD.
Survivor ... what's for dinner?

I forget who came up with it. The attachment to results tripped me up at times.
