Exhausted
Today was a long day with coffee early in the morning with old friend Grace who I haven't seen in ages. Group then and work. Tomorrow I have to be up and out earlier to go meet a client and then Saturday up and out even earlier for an appearance. I think by noon Saturday most of my work obligations are out of the way. Still a couple of social obligations I will fulfill.
Sad news from up by my parents. Long story, but their neighbor discovered her husband molesting her 6-year-old daughter. Her first instinct was to get the gun and shoot the son-of-a-bitch, but she was level headed enough to gather her girls and go get ice cream... and never come back. She took her daughter to the hospital and called the police. And then found out her older daughter had been being molested for the five years they had lived with him. Sad sad sad. There are some really sick perverted preying bastards in this world. I've met the woman in this story and she is very nice, but also very low class. My admiration for her has gone up ten-fold for her gumption in doing the right thing so resolutely. If only all mothers could be so brave for their children.
