Today I made a multitude of mistakes. But also my mom's house has already garnered an offer of $380,000 on an asking price of $375, with a long line of people signed up to view it.

Today when I went over to the Assisted Living where my elderly relative is living, the saxophone player who comes once every 2 weeks was playing, and several of the residents, visiting family members, and staff were up dancing to the old songs the elderly saxophonist plays. It was a joyful thing. #music #eldercare
