Thank you, Lara!

It was in December of last year that I had two falls, and my back hasn't been the same since. A person gets too busy sometimes in December, and I think that's why I had the falls. This year I've been trying to be more careful and do less.

Power outages make things dicier because it's hard to sleep when cold.

One woman here has a daughter staying with her, and that daughter very kindly put up a bulletin board notice offering to help anyone who can't manage the stairs during a power outage. That was so nice. People do tend to step up to the plate and help one another.
