Downer of a day. My sister called to tell me that my Dad has been admitted to a nursing home after taking another fall. He's 90, and the docs think he's having a series of small strokes.
Then I get to school to learn that one of my student's father shot himself in the head, while she was home alone with him. She heard the shot & heard him fall, but was too afraid to go in the bedroom. She went next door to get her girlfriend, also one of my students, and together they discovered his body.
I came home at the end of the day to discover that a family of skunks has torn the hell out of my front yard. They were apparently looking for grubs. I couldn't believe the damage! I went to the hardware store and bought a couple of Havahart traps. So now I'm thinking...what if I catch one or two of the critters? What do I do with them? Put them in my car and transport them to a remote area? Hey! I know! How about if I put them in YOUR car to transport them.
What next??
