Oh, and on top of everything else this morning my 79-year-old Mom called -- she fell down and broke her wrist. And my oldest has been sick all week.
So, many of you good people have offered help, and I am going to take you up on it:
Tell me something good. Something good that is happening to you, or people you love, or in the world. About what you had for dinner, if it was really good. What you really wanted to have for dinner, but didn't. Tell me a silly joke. Or a not silly joke. Whatever.
Tell me of things that make you happy.

My two favorites are Cafe Colucci, on Telegraph near 65/Alcatraz, and Cafe Eritrea d'Afrique, on Telegraph/40th.
The latter is especially dear, because it is owned by a woman named Zima who walked across Eritrea to escape political oppression. She had to leave her mother (who could not do the cross-country trek) behind, and she worked tirelessly long hours in her restaurant for years with the goal of bringing her mother to America. I haven't spoken to her in a while so I don't know if she succeeded yet, but... it is an inspiration in any case.
The food there is awesome too - huge portions, low on the spicy end of things, and wonderful creamy fruity drinks.
