Things could be worse...

Our office is still being cleaned up after last week's flooding. Stuff is scattered and piled up everywhere as the workers move things around sanitizing, drying out the walls, getting ready to paint and replace carpet. It is a challenge to find things as we need them. We are in a temporary office space, where today, there are guys removing and replacing the roof that was damaged by the crazy hail storm from about a month ago. Difficult to work efficiently while you are displaced and giant woodpeckers are hammering around. Just gotta shrug and laugh it off cuz things could be worse.

Russ is hanging in there with all this plus his mom being in the hospital with a serious illness.  She has battled emphysema for years.  At least as long as I've known Russell, which is almost 15 years.  About 2 weeks ago, she started having more trouble breathing than usual.  It got bad enough they put her in the hospital and eventually in ICU.  Now, she is unable to breathe on her own and is on a ventilator in a long term care facility.  His mother-in-law is in the hospital, also.  She has been ill for a few months.  Russell's personal world is in chaos and now he's dealing with the office related crud.
