What a happy surprise! A former librarian, now retired, stopped off in the library today, bearing this lovely plant. She had run into my colleague while waiting to vote on Tuesday and learned about my recent mishap. She came to school to see her grandson's performance in a class play but included me in her visit. It was great to see her. Why do retired teachers all look so rested and refreshed!
ps - the answer to your question? because we are!
i did not hear about your mishap.
hope you are healed by now.
sorry.
