This is really embarrassing, but I have seriously sprained my ankle.

I can more or less manage, but I can't quite manage carrying things, opening doors, and crutches, yet. I can eat take-out and delivery forever to avoid it, but I need some help with the cat-food and cat litter that got dumped just outside my door.

Not being rude at all, I'm just overly friendly. I guess you could say I'm making up for the lack of it in certain members of the family. I'm Ellie - I'm, uh, new to the network. I do a lot of volunteer work, so offering help is almost a reflex at this point.

I'm almost afraid to ask who the other members of your family are. I'm Ben, and it's good to meet you. What kind of volunteer work do you do?

Anthony and Alec, the Crowleys? Feel like if you met them I should apologize... more for my half-brother Alec, tho.

Ben, that's a nice solid name. Good to meet you too. I did meals on wheels sort of stuff for elderly & hospice folks, drove people to things if they just got out of hospital. Mum calls it Ellie's Taxi.

Hello, Ellie, it's nice to meet you. I don't know if I want to congratulate you or offer my sympathy to you for your family - but I happen to like both of them well enough, so I suppose I'll go for congratulating you.

You seem like a really nice person. I'm sorry you're wrapped up in this mess.
