So it looks like it’s probably pneumonia, which will hopefully respond to antibiotics and start to pass. I think my mother’s been feeling pretty miserable the past couple of days, certainly since we got home from Maryland on Sunday.
My day, by comparison, was pretty standard. I got the okay for our company’s “summer hours,” whereby I’ll work from 8:30 to 5:15 four days a week in order to leave at one o’clock on Fridays. It doesn’t go into effect until mid-July, but I stayed until 5:15 today to make sure it still left me enough time to make my regular train. And it does, if only just. I probably won’t often get a seat on that train, but that’s okay. Standing is sometimes better for my back, and it does mean I get to read more instead of nodding off in the evening — which I do all too often. I’m still reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which is a weird mix of genres, not all of them super-exciting, but I am enjoying it so far, some three hundred pages in.
Other than that, not much to report.
Your poor mom. I hope she’s feeling better soon.
I am deeply envious of your summer hours. All I got approved for was more overtime. Yay. Hooray. So excited.
