Death usually falls in threes...
The Bates clan has been hit with yet another fatality. :(
First a friend of Joel's father's passes away. And yesterday we get the news that Joel's brother's best friend shot himself. He'd been on a bad road for quite a while and it culminated and couldn't be stopped. I worry about Joel and his brother. But they are Bates, made of stronger stock than most. I believe they'll help one another through all this. But like the subject reads, death comes in threes... makes my stomach sick wondering where the third strike will hit.
Enough of the sadness...
There was no productivity to come out of yesterday except Joel and I playing Words with Friends after he got back from his mother's apartment. (He and I have become quite partial to that game. ^_^ )
Work was... well... work. Neither here nor there. And since this is one of those towns where everything but Wal-Mart closes at 9PM, it's quiet so I don't have many good stories, unfortunately. Plus, it's the winter... all the trolls are hidden away in their caves, so to speak.
WoW bit: Servers are down today - surprisingly - so Joel and I will have to find something for us entertain ourselves with until we have to go to bed this afternoon. >.>
