I mean, there's just too much going on.
Bernie told me I'm not allowed to run in any more races. That shouldn't be a problem. Well, except for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. That IS happening.
Then he was like, "Babe, I've got the best idea. You're a schoolteacher- we'll just homeschool our kids and like, live out in the middle of the desert. It's perfect!"
Um, YOU homeschool the kids, dude. I love my job.
But I love that this quote from Mr. Rogers kept popping up everywhere:
And I love the sentiment behind it. The stories that have come out of the whole Boston thing are stories of kindness, proving once again that Love Wins. You can't stop it. It's the way the universe works.
So there's all this terrible national news.
Luckily, my parents were spared, but my aunt's basement had at least 6 inches of water. Their neighborhood got 10 inches of rain! After hearing about people being stuck in traffic for hours (and the guy selling Italian beef out of his truck on 290 at 8:00 a.m.), I decided to just stay put and wait till things calmed down before heading into work. They don't get a sub for me if I call in, so I didn't feel too guilty. I sat on my couch and ate cinnamon rolls while watching the news- the perfect morning.
Then, as I was putting on my fleece to leave, they announced on the news that the Bishop Ford had just been closed entirely, which meant extensive delays for me. I rationalized that I'd spend more time in my car than I would at work, so I just took a full day absence.
My poor cousin (who lives down the street) had 8 inches of water in his garden apartment, so I texted to see what I could do to help. "Meet me for lunch," he responded. "I need a beer." I was happy to help with that.
