I learned nerd for this.
Apparently, our house has developed a taste for old ladies.
Yesterday, Mom fell off the porch into a planter. Just bruises, thank God, but she’s just getting over a fall in April where she cracked a backbone.
And just minutes ago, we had 911 cart off her best friend who had tripped on a sprinkler head just off of our front walkway. Possible broken arm, definite laceration over the eye due to her glasses getting broken. Don’t know if any glass got to her eye itself, yet. And this is her second spill in that area- 2 years ago, she lost her footing stepping on a chestnut from the tree there, breaking her arm.
Headed to ER now.

Broken glasses. A small fracture in one arm, a sprain in the other, a laceration over one eye with a fractured orbit below it. She looks mugged, but most of her recovery will be about pain management.
She’s a friend of 25+ years, and has been living with his since her apartment lease ran out just as her contract job duration expired a couple months ago. She’s been looking for work, and had been on a new job involving helping people transfer benefits packages between employers about a week when she quit the day before the accident.
We ain’t mad about that at all.
She was familiar with the job to be done, having done similar work before. She left this job because of the shockingly bad training they received and how her fellow new hires were routinely cutting corners. Think...being a sailor and watching someone drilling holes in the hull to ”let water out” level of scary incompetence. What they’re doing- and not doing- is going to bite people in the ass 5+ years down the road, HARD. She couldn’t be a part of that.
She has a brother, a sister, and three kids. Generally speaking, I can’t say I’m impressed with any of them. They have their own issues, but sometimes, they do things to her that simply boggle my mind. Don’t get me wrong, its not all bad. Occasionally, they do come through for her. But even when they do, there’s often a little asterisk...
