May. 8th, 2022 10:53 pmHappy Mother's Day, in whatever fashion suits you.
I did talk to my mom on the phone for a bit. Things are going well down in Las Cruces, which is good.
-
Extremely glad for the weekend.
Today started pretty quiet, and I very truly thought it would be a day where I got ahead of things.
Ha.
Part of the day was spent talking to one of the new drivers - new-ish; she worked at a different location when my manager drove out of there, too. She's in the midst of a really rough situation: husband is terminally ill, and requires pretty round-the-clock care... but they also need income, so she has to work at least some. She's sweet, and I think she needed someone to talk to. It was weird conversation for work - stuff about cultural attitudes toward death and grief and things like that.
The rest of the day would still have gotten back on track if it weren't for one unwieldy call toward the end, with some exciting new (but pretty bad) issue on our end screwing up someone's purchase. Eesh.
Wound up there about forty minutes late.
-
I think tonight is another bail on writing night, but that gives me just two days (though my days off) to finish this chapter. I think I can do it.
Tomorrow we may go to one of the botanic gardens in the area, which I'm looking forward to. Things are finally starting to bloom, and it's supposed to be nice and warm.
But now, some TV and then sleep.
