A serious moment, for once
Things have taken something of a dark turn lately. Just a couple weeks back the hubby's aunt died. Originally he wasn't going to go because it's tax season, but on the day before the funeral he sort of talked himself into it. I didn't go, though I did the driving down to Lamesa. I was given an out on it that I almost didn't take, but since I wasn't able to really sleep the night before I figured it would be best for me to nap during the funeral so I would be fresh for the drive back home. I never met her, and I'm not really in with his family other than his mother and one brother, so my being there wasn't exactly a necessity.
Then, right around the same time, the grandmother of some good friends of mine passed away. Again, I never met her, but my heart goes out to the family. This is sort of making me nervous though, because that's 2 so far, and these things tend to happen in 3s (so they say). But it's not just that - see, there are now illnesses and injuries going around. My friend and web-hostess' brother is dramatically ill, as is our good neighbor. One of our friends in Farwell had a slip on the ice and is all bruised and banged up - and at his age a fall like that is not a good thing.
So now I'm in this strange state of knowing I should be in a worry loop, but not really feeling it. It's the anticipation of dread, but not actual dread. I don't want to concentrate on that though - it's ridiculous and it's all in my head. So instead, my prayers go out to those who are unwell, as well as to those who have lost loved ones. Peace and blessings to you all.
