I haven't heard back from the plumber who is supposed to give me an estimate.

I spent a large part of the day whimpering in a dark room. I'm so glad TCG was sent home early because I don't know how I was going to parent until 5.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought I was the flaky one!

So today I randomly ran across/into a story written by a long lost college friend (didn't even realize it was her at first) about how a village smuggled her toddler mom & elder siblings & cousins out of Nazi-Vichy France through various subterfuges & how she was later reunited with them& they came together to the States in '47. Her grandmother was arrested by the Gestapo right after she handed toddler-mom off to Resistance Underground. She was murdered at Auschwitz, as was her husband later.
20+ years ago, all N knew was her mother's life started at 7 in 1947 in Georgia after escaping France, dark hints from an aunt 16 yrs senior and weird memories no one understood. They've since met the people & decedents from that village & have a relationship & have learned the extraordinary measures those people took.
It's striking to me, now, as it was then, to feel that bit of history so close. Her MOM, just a few years older than mine.

Amazing story, sarameg. It makes me sad and angry how soon some people forget.
TCG is working until noon today. I have a headache hangover and plan on soaking in the tub as soon as he is home to take over parenting duties.
