Definitions of words change with the times. I just called my son, who I haven't seen for at least 6 weeks, with an emergency request. I had 10 light bulbs out that needed to be replaced on a ladder. I don't do ladders right now, because I don't want to break anything and wind up with the Covid patients at the Emergency Room. And my knee is still a bummer. So, "emergency" means something new to me. He was such a help including running several trips to the basement for me, too. I had a box full of "get rid of's" at the back door for him and his brother to sort through and take the rest to Salvation Army. So, my house looks cleaner and brighter and emptier, all of which makes me smile! He was so happy to see me, he forgot to spend any time with the kittens.
