Well.
K’s mother is not well.
The car died.
The furnace isn’t working.
The blender broke, and the new one bought to replace it didn’t work either.
On the other hand,
The fireplace still works and can heat up the entire house.
Sleeping in cold weather is lovely with a flannel duvet and some quilts, and 51 degrees is not so terribly bad in the morning if you have a serious flannel nightgown.
I do have a serious flannel nightgown.
We got another new blender, which did work once.
We bought a new car.
Still,
K’s mom is not well.

You’ve sweated the small stuff… time to do what you *can* do about the big stuff.
Yep –
K should visit his mom–it’s good to know when you’re looking at someone for the last time, no matter how sad that makes you.
I’m glad about the good things, especially the flannel. Unwell is not good.
The photo makes it look as though the cat did a strenuous workout and then passed out in front of the fire.
Unwell isn’t good, but having a bit of notice for a farewell is good.
