Apparently. (It also breaks continental plates.)
It hasn't been an easy month or so. Cath has been ill and off work. On Tuesday the doctor told her that (and this is a paraphrase, but it's Cathy's summary) 'you're broken and I don't know how to fix you.'
Two of my friends experienced an unexpected bereavement when a pregnancy fell short.
Work hasn't been easy. Managerial caution at the highest level (some of it justifiable) has pushed one of my already-fragile colleagues almost over the edge. I have my own issues with another person who seems to have a fantastic knack for making easy jobs much, much harder than they should be, and a definite talent for creating work for other people. Unfortunately I am other people.
I still get surprised by reminders of Grandad when I least expect it. Occasionally I am ambushed by grief.
But there have been some good things shining through like sun rays in a cloudy sky.
Last week on my birthday I saw all three members of my immediate family. And it was sunny, so we went to Rest Bay and breathed in sea air and saw starfish in the rock pools.
The dodgy bit of our roof is finally - after months of stress - fixed!
Along with all the other staff I got given a Cadbury's Creme Egg in work from our CEO for Easter. Sometimes it's the littlest gestures that mean the most.
I am now working on helping with two more books. I may be involved in four books getting published this year now.
My eBay purchase of a box of 100 Padres baseball cards arrived, and I've been geekily cataloguing them. Happy Excel Spreadsheet fun!
