Got LDBd half an hour ago. Was bound to happen with the XMas music on in the store, I suppose.
Another hour or so of bagging...

Jesus. A good friend of a college buddy lost her husband in the San Bernadino shootings.

Our wings are not tired.
My extended family all live in the Inland Empire, including my cousin Rachel who comes up this time every year to, among other things, see the current Hunger Games movie. I was supposed to pick her up at 1:30 today at Oakland airport.
Only she cancelled. Three of the members of her brother's church were killed (this is the church our grandfather founded) and she's got funerals/memorials to plan.
The fact that this happened in San Bernardino is especially worrying to me becaus that area is poor and a hotbed of evangelism; a massacre committed by a Muslim is only going to confirm so much bias and bigotry that already exists. It's terrible all around.
I am typing on my iPhone which sucks, but holy shit Amyth, sarameg, and Brenda!

Oh, sarameg, I'm so sorry for your friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man.

Oh man, amyth, hope you are okay.
I have had a DAY today. I actually told three students that I have given up on them and I was out. Then another student who got up and walked out enraged me to the point where I made the whole class write about her (to her and things that were about what her potential is), but still.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I got some good news tonight: my brother and SiL are going to be able to come home for Christmas! I cried a little. Good thing he texted me.

Nice, Teppy. But, but, you need to come visit them here.

Yay for a brotherly Christmas!
Oh Kat, that sounds like an exhausting and emotionally depleting day. May tomorrow bring things into balance.
I forgot about the Wiz. It likely repeats? Have to look into that.
The whole San Bernardino situation and most everything else on the news is just discouraging. The whole thinking well of my fellow man thing is tougher than it should be.
