How was your day Mom?

What to say?   Nothing good.  Here's my top ten list of reasons I can't function:

  1.  There's a funeral I need to go to tomorrow.  I can listen to crying people talking about the plan of salvation and all the comfort it is when you lose an 87 year old great grandmother whose husband has been waiting for her for decades.
  2.  A woman in our ward just got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  Oh yeah,  I can't go see her because she's at Stanford hospital where--I'm not even finishing this sentence.
  3.  My friend started her own business.  That sounds good right?  I can't even come up with anything in my day interesting enough to talk about at the dinner table,  let alone figure out what productive thing I can do to ease Keith's burden in bringing in all the cashflow.
  4.  I heard from my brother for the first time in months--he needed a favor.
  5.  I finally felt OK playing the piano one time and somebody had to make a snide remark.
  6.  My only local friendship is beyond fixing--don't even want to anymore.
  7.  I made an effort to invite my mother-in-law over and it was weird and awkward and her husband was rude.
  8.  Made the final move with my brother-in-law and thought it would make me feel better--Nope.
  9.  The heartwalk went well that day, but I don't have the strength to get more involved.
10.  My friend's son is coming home from his mission this week and mine's not.

Oh, I guess there's 11 because I feel like pulling a "Jack" and running away for a year.

3 hours until I have to look and act like everything's fine.  Yah.

I sooooooooooooooooo want to do something to ease your pain. I will call and email more often(she says with her head hanging low), but is there anything else I can do?
