A very bad day

Days are just the intervals between sunrise and sunset.

Yet they have the ability to be distinctive depending on what occurs during this time period.

Any given moment is generally tolerable, or better, but some days are like Charlie Brown's Pig Pen, covered by a dark cloud.
 
This has been a difficult week for me. Bestest is living through the darkest time he's had to face since I've known him and I can do almost nothing to help him. My sister had all her bottom teeth pulled today and my brother's diabetes has caused him to face more surgery. I arrived at my volunteer job to discover the school in lock down, surrounded by policemen.

It turned out to be a failed kidnapping, but then at the assembly that followed, one child threw up and another fainted. I was working with a substitute teacher who had no access to the emails clarifying all the things going on so we were mostly in the dark.

I'd say this particular interval qualifies as a very bad day.
