I was at a store today returning an item. There was an elderly man in front of me in line. The cashier asked him how he was, he said 'Not good'. She said 'How come?' He said 'My wife passed away on the 10th of the month'. He went on to say that she had been sick for many years with a slow growing breast cancer tumour. And there was no pain ever. It seems she lived with this tumour until the breast had turned as hard as wood, and finally went to the doctor. He removed the breast, but it had spread by that time and so she finally died. Now he's living all alone in a big house and mentioned that it's lonely.
Well, we're back into our winter coats today, back to seasonal temperatures, I suppose. The past few days made us feel as if summer had started. So I noticed food prices are on the rise. I decided to have a chinese bbq lunch near my house and I usually pay $4.19 including tax and that is now $4.74! Must be due to the looming the rice shortage. I picked up a little black forest cake to celebrate L's birthday this evening.
So L has stopped piano lessons at least until the summer.
