THE JOURNEY

Well it all started when I found a small German phrase book that I wanted to send to Jennifer and Scott, so that they could learn German before they actually go to Germany. So I hunt all over the house for a envelope that it will fit it. No such thing. To the drugstore, where I buy a the "perfect" size. At the register I try and put the book in the envelope but it would not fit. The cashier also tried to force it in.Back to the place where the envelopes are buy a package of them. It fits in these. I start to put their address on it and remember that I made a mistake on their Christmas card. Was it 110 or 112. I have known this address forever but now I am confused so back home. Where I decide to go to the post office the next day. In the meantime I bring it in the house because if I leave it in the car , for sure we will be in the other car. The next day I totally forget to mail it. But I did carry it out to the car and then back in the house. I was going to mail it on the way to meeting Sonrisa but realized I did not have time. So back in the house it goes. Now today I put it in the car but we ended up having our car serviced and there was no post office within miles. All but the main ones close at noon.And that blessed little envelope is back in the house and can not go anywhere until Monday.

OH DEAR!

Today in restraining order clinic, I had a lady have a pretty big seizure. I noticed she had stopped writing, when I asked her why, she looked at me and uttered gibberish. I thought maybe she had Tourettes Syndrome, but then she fell across her desk. All my first aid classes flashed before my eyes. I went over grabbed her and with the help of another volunteer, we got her on the floor on her side. I asked someone to get me a towel and I just kept telling her she would be fine, while using the damp towel on her forehead. Suddenly there were Sheriffs and EMTs all over the place. They transported her to the hospital. I just got a email saying she is feeling much better now. Thank heavens. Wew!!!!!
