The good, the bad and the ugly

The good:
My mom is doing better. She and I sat in the porch swing at her house yesterday for almost two hours.
I love fall. Our leaves are falling.
It's Monday. I love my job.
I'm going to make brownies. And share them.
I got to see all my kids yesterday. They are good kids.
The good list is longer than the bad and the ugly lists. Positive thinking.

The bad:
Heiva is missing. I need to put up "Lost cat" posters.

The ugly:
A box elder bug flew down my shirt this weekend. Gross.
Somebody smashed a pumpkin in the road in front of our house. Even more gross.
Lupita played outside with a dead mouse last night. Thoroughly disgusting.
