I hope there is nothing else in store for us, not right away at least. Life is so random and illogical at times.

I'm glad you have them in your corner. And SO glad the hospital was free of COVID-19 when Briana had to go. Cat bites are bad news. Our cat bit me once and although I doused it in alcohol immediately, I required antibiotics within 24 hours. It's a scary thing to watch that redness grow.<br /><br />It's crazy that more places didn't jump on this virus more quickly. Thank goodness for those who did; they've saved countless lives.

She is a thoughtful friend, always there for the tough times and up for fun in the good. I often tell her she should teach classes on the art of being a good friend. I think her secret is she is willing to put time and effort in to maintaining her friendships whereas, I confess, I have to remind myself to do the little things which are so important. Nova Scotia and its people are in my thoughts, can't believe what a rough time it has been lately.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-65808894130410233102020-05-04T22:05:18.203-03:002020-05-04T22:05:18.203-03:00Very sad.
