a quick post before the crash

[curmugeon]

A quick post to say that yesterday Mom had a meltdown (she had a bad Parkingson's day), the earth moved under my feet (4.1 earthquake), I didn't make it to work (my 'caregiver' had jury duty), my hernia is entering the phase where I have to consider surgery (it's annoying and I want it fixed), the economy sucks (yesterday was a day off without pay), and the DMV will never get their act together (it took tow trips for them to get an ID card right for my Mom).
