4) Super busy at work tonight, but everyone was exceptionally nice. (No stupid people!!! LOL. Amazing!)
5) Two girls came in tonight that really impressed me. The first girl was in a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury resulting from an auto accident that wasn't her fault. She was the passenger and the only one seriously hurt in the accident. The second was a girl who was picking up stuff in her room when her light went out. She tripped over her backpack, stepped on a pencil sticking out of her backpack, which then caused her to fall, spraining her ankle and smacking her head on her dresser. This is the same foot that has been previously broken twice and has already had surgery to it. In both cases, the girls were laughing at their misfortunes. Unbelievable.
