The other day someone mentioned that life lately seems like a creative writing assignment written by a fourth grader. What an adventure it is. So far it goes something like this.
Once upon a time there was a bat, the bat got sick and then it got the whole world sick. School was cancelled, Church was cancelled, everything was cancelled! The people ran to the store to buy toilet paper just in case toilet paper could save the day, they bought everything else in the store too just in case. AND THEN there was an earthquake, AND THEN there was a hail storm with marble sized hail, AND THEN there was snow, but school was already cancelled. AND THEN . . .
I'd like that fourth grader to quickly find a peaceful ending, wouldn't you?
But here's my personal experience of the day to add to the adventure: The earthquake didn't do any damage at Sharla's house. She went to the store to forage for nuts and berries and laundry detergent for her family. She was happy to find some detergent and put it on top of her washing machine. While the washer was spinning it created it's own mini earthquake and the new container of detergent bounced off the washer, the lid broke, and there is now a flood of laundry detergent on her floor. She is procrastinating cleaning it up.
True story!
