Well, hey there!
Welcome to Roundup, Montana! If it's a nice day, we'll sit a spell on my porch and talk awhile.
A poem captured my attention the other day.
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart,
Until, in our own despair,
Against our will,
Comes wisdom
Through the awful grace of God.
Well, evidently it pays quite well. $7800 a month set aside for this position. Now, not all goes to the individual. But come on. I'll volunteer to be the caretaker. I'll wear a vest and sit and watch. Heck, I'll even learn to drive a skid steer and fork lift and front end loader and get paid $25 an hour or more. Sign me up.
I am rereading this for book club for a science book. A curious choice, but it may work.
So I've gone over the rule of 3's. The current chapter is 'who lives and dies in the ER'. Huh. Well, first off, go to a decent hospital in my opinion. Now this is just me, but the hospital ER in my town is okay for routine problems. Broken bones, stitches- things like that, per my history with them. But they have messed around enough with my care that when I have something really urgent, I head down the road 50 miles to a Level 1 trauma center.
The only 3 saying I remember is that "bad things come in threes. So once the first happens you can expect two more soon" - Murphy.
Oh, wait. I may have gotten that backwards. It could have been good things. Like finding money. Did I mention there was a fresh, crisp five dollar bill in my back yard the other day? True! Have no idea where it came from or why it hadn't blown away. I keep looking for the ten and the twenty, but never arrived. Maybe I was right in the first place.
Does the teacher want everything stirred up? A thought to consider. Her family and her history may be intertwined with the drama. If she says no... I'd say, "let it be".
Smith Brothers cough drops are what I remember growing up. Cherry was what I preferred. The company still exists and besides Wild Cherry has Black Licorice, Honey Lemon and Warm Apple Pie. I don't remember the last, but haven't looked to see when that flavor started.
