I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman, (21) (shake) her head and said: "Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don't know (22) I'm going to get through the holidays."
