Five Sieges

Fiorella has been under siege on all sides. She didn't get much sleep last night because of a massive GERD attack, a friend has reproached her for insensitivity, Husband is in the hospital, everyone in the family has problems, and a lens has fallen out if her glasses.
*
Texas senatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke is also under siege--by the Trump machine. Please, God, let the best man win (which isn't Cruz.)
*
Fio has to find a way to get rid of the armadillo that's laying siege to our yard. This one has avoided the trap so far, and our plantings are being torn up at the roots.
*
Good news--it looks like the siege of hot, hot, hot weather in our area is cooling off.
*
And now Fiorella must go lay siege to Sabrina's story, which was originally planned to be about 3500 words, has swelled to 6200 words, and is still going strong.
