it begins

day one of the pledge drive was surprisingly calm. smooth. fluid.

day two --today-- began a bit unexpectedly: by taking ray to urgent care. he had finally had enough of a health problem he'd been quietly suffering with for weeks. we spent about 4 hours at the clinic. the time that wasn't spent waiting in a tiny, flourescent white exam room was entertaining enough... all the nurses were dressed in witches' hats and pumpkin sweaters.

so day two turned into a long day. the antithesis of day one.

here's hoping day three is better.
