Joy's sister's house caught on fire tonight. The family is okay, but are at the hospital overnight for treatment of smoke inhalation. The back half of the house isn't so okay.
Her mom called me around 4am to ask me to run to Wal-Mart in Colby to pick up a few things for them. Of course I'm willing to lend a hand, but I'm quite surprised she called me. She figured I'd still be awake. Usually I am (and I was when she called), but lately I've been going to bed earlier than usual and would have, as of late, been asleep already. I'd have gone even if I had been asleep. I'm actually a little happy she called me. She's never seemed to like me at all. Either she secretly doesn't hate me or I just happened to be the most likely person awake. I'd like to prefer the former.
I stopped by the hospital for about five minutes to say hi and hand over the goodies. They seem to be mostly in good spirits. I'm sure being displaced from your home is a terrible feeling, but I'm sure they'll bounce back. I do hope they had insurance.
