When it rains it pours

Gretchen was probably due for a bit of a let-down after the past four months, but she's really had a rotten run of luck. First she came down with a nasty cold last week. Then, earlier this week she woke up with her eye swollen half-shut and had to go to Urgent Care, where she found out she had pinkeye. (Which was interesting because when I was in Madison I had to go to Urgent Care for the same thing the morning of the memorial service, only instead of pinkeye it turned out to be just a really bad irritation from allergies.) Just when her eyedrops were starting to kick in, I heard from her last night that she had an awful earache. On top of that, she's still trying to (among other things) find a home for her mom's dog, prepare the house for an estate sale, have her mom's ashes buried up north, and get ready to fly back here a week from today. Hopefully when she gets back she can just sleep for about a week...
