November!!

I was so sick of October so November being here is a blessing!

In October we lost so many loved ones and knew so may people who were in tragic accidents. My 20 year old cousin died unexpectedly in his college apartment. The cause is still unknown. The family I talked about below lost their husband/daddy and the two girls are improving slowly but definitely doing much better. My friend who tried to resuscitate Ryan was then also involved in trying to resuscitate the teenager who died at St X while at swimming practice. Another pediatric resident was hit by a car while riding her bike and survived but was critically injured (not to mention having her husband be the doctor called out by air care to find that it was his wife in critical condition). Too many horrible stories for one month.

To top it all off our home was broken into over the weekend while we were sleeping. The dog slept through it all. We awoke to the sound of glass shattering below us. They decided they really needed to grab my work bag off the kitchen chair so they threw a stepping stone through the window. Too bad the bag had nothing in it except Xavier season tickets and some paperwork from work, my lunch bag with tupperware, my sunglasses, our digital compass and some barettes I was intending to take back to the store. Besides being scared out of my wits we were all safe and the detective is on the case. They have a few suspects but need to actually get prints to catch him. Luckily he dropped Todd's pocketknife (which he stole from his truck) in our backyard and the cops collected it. Supposedly he has never left anything behind before and he has never thrown anything through a window. Either way we are all safe and hope that we get this window replaced soon.

In November we hope that everyone stays safe, healthy and starts to heal - physically and emotionally.
