Last Saturday



Last Saturday, a 10 year old former student of mine suddenly passed away. I attended his funeral today.

Last Saturday, the body of a very local girl exactly Marvel Girl's age was found after she had been missing for a week.

Last Saturday, 49 people squished into my home for an Asian New Year's party that had in previous years included crafts, homemade dumplings, and a dragon dance. However, in previous years only 1 or 2 families attended. Last year we invited over 30 people and only 3 showed up. This year 49 were present. (Did I mention my home is quite small???).

Last Saturday, Professor X couldn't even make it through sitting on the couch during his own party. After 2 hours, he ended up in bed for almost 24 hours.

Last Saturday, an arsonist set several fires outside my kids' school. Luckily (?) only the greenhouse was destroyed.

Last Saturday...

It's always so awful to hear these things. Hope your coping strategies are getting you by .... and I hope the party was still a lot of fun fro the guests.
