Spent my usual writing time this evening caring for a friend who took a bad spill… Life imitates art! No ER though thankfully.

I would be panicking so badly if that did happen to me. Do hope your friend gets well soon.

I’m in that age bracket and sometimes it seems like the goal is to create enough interval between painful incidents that they don’t overlap. I wish her well.

For real. One time at work I was threatening not to come in anymore because, you know, accidents happen. Three weeks later I’m in a car accident.

I took a terrible spill once. Wearing wool blend slacks. Orange juice. On an airplane. The dry cleaners called and said throw βem away. No one stayed up with me…

Men of culture and noble virtue are required to bleed out on their own without the usual thrashing and beseeching various deities. I fail to hold up to the standard sometimes.

I’ve often found that the “Ow! FUCK!” response works just as well as beseeching the Gods. Except when you grab a hot mic at a Maranatha seminar…

We agree on the good sense to borrow language from the commoners when an appropriate expletive is required. The hot mic incident might require a little blame shifting to Satan and a donation to the church. Were you able to recover from that incident?

In truth my response for serious unexpected feedback coupled with electric shock is as above. However, the Lord was a good shepherd to his flock that day because when I left the stage the first thing I asked was Did I drop the F bomb? When the laughter subsided, I was informed my usual expletive had been transfigured into “BWAW!!!” and all was well. The Lord works in mysterious ways…

I remember in high school I had a bottle of orange juice with my lunch. My bottle was to my left and I was speaking to someone on my right. I went to shake up the juice and forgot I had already taken the cap off. Needless to say, I never lived it down.

There must be someone out there helping her because it’s almost like she’s got a hex on her. I never saw anyone with such bad luck. She’s not a one-upper, either.

I do hate to see people suffer like that, especially if they are good people. I respect you a great deal for helping out. That makes a huge difference for people even if we canβt see the impact it has. Little acts of kindness go a long way.

Thanks. She is lucky she has many friends since she’s a widow and has no children. She was originally from Brooklyn so you better believe no one effs around with her.

Always love to see you taking your challenge seriously, and keeping up with your daily posts. Even this post is a good demonstration of sticking to your plan, even though real life got in the way. There’s only 7 more days to go, right? Good to see you going strong, Hetty!
