Most of the suck came at the end of the week. I am so done with this crap.
Thursday night a friend and co-worker was in a bicycle accident. He had to stop quick when a car cut him off and went over the handlebars. Broken rib and clavicle, and serious soft tissue damage in the shoulder and wrist. Bike needs probably about $1k in repairs (triathlon bike- $1000 in repairs is cheap) and his cell phone was shattered.
Also Thursday night, my friend's mom lost her 3 year fight with brain cancer. Everyone knew it was coming, since she's been in and out of hospice care for most of the last two or three years, but it's still a blow.
Now, to top off the week, another friend lost her dad this afternoon. This one was sudden, and her mother has late stage Alzheimer's and isn't likely to make it much longer either.
I know none of these tragedies are hitting myself or my family, but I care about my friends, and this is just too much at once. I need a break.
