see Megan before she headed out to finish up her interrupted day.
    Megan looked much worse than she had the day before because the bruises had started to show up in blues and purples. This morning she was already awake, having a little bit of liquid while sitting up in the bed. Megan was waiting for the doctor to make his rounds and let her know exactly how badly she had been damaged on the inside. Since she had been on so much medication for the pain from the day before, she was hoping that he could explain where all of the pain was coming from.
    Megan gave Allie the ‘schedule’ for the day; it looked like Mr. Jones would be there about 11a.m. to have Megan sign all the paperwork from the court from the day before. This way they could get started securing the temporary custody problem and would be on the way to making it full time custody. The Umbrella Shelter was sending an advocate by to help Megan know what steps she would need for starting over. The advocate would help her assess the situation and see what would be the best ways to accomplish getting back to a semi normal state. Megan had signed the papers for Allie to be on the school list of approved people that could pick Sally up. Since it was only eight in the morning, Allie planned to get some deliveries made and be back at the hospital by 11 so that she could hear what the lawyer had to say.
    Allie headed to the bank, since it was the closest and she needed to deposit the money from yesterday. Allie didn’t like to have money lying around that could be an incentive for someone to rob her. Having lived in a big city for most of her life, Allie always took extra precautions to ensure her safety.
    There was a whole box of orders for the ladies at the bank. Allie collected the demo for the week, her newest fragrance from the car and armed herself with the latest brochures. The goal was to sell at least 10 bottles this week by giving the customers $10 off the price. Allie would still make $5 a bottle and it would help her sales go up so that she could hit the next selling level. By giving the ladies a discount it allowed them to save money while keeping them as returning customers who were satisfied. This was the fun part of delivering that allowed Allie to find out what was going on in her customer’s lives. Through chatting about their daily activities; it allowed Allie to see what products from the brochure would fit best with their needs this week.
    It was hard being cheerful while Megan was in the hospital hurt. Most people were so caught up in their own lives that they unintentionally didn’t notice those that might be hurting. They simply were not focused on others around so they missed when they were hurting. It wasn’t that they were trying to being mean or unfeeling; many people just tended to ignore situations that made them feel uncomfortable or they simply didn’t know how to react.
    Allie considered it her mission to bring cheer to others by making the people around her laugh whenever possible. “Today’s story was about a little girl of two, who was playing with empty pots and pans on her mom’s floor. The Mommy walked in and asked her, ‘What she are you cooking?’ The little girl replied, ’The Children.’ Her mother was horrified, ‘What do you mean you are cooking the children?’ The little girl rolled her eyes, ’Mom, I’m cooking Hansel and Gretel.’ Needless to say that the mother was very careful which fairytales, she read to her daughter from then on.”
    Once, all the ladies had laughed, Allie directed the conversation back to her topic of beauty products that were on sale and which ones they needed. “So who has hairy warts that they need to hide with some great concealer?” It was so early that there were not many customers coming into the bank; so the ladies were able to pick out their orders without feeling hurried. The box emptied quickly as each lady claimed her order and gave Allie the next one. Allie was able to do
