Ok, I remembered to bring yesterday’s blog home from work today, so here it is:
My mother and I had our plot marker made up last Fall and decided to have it installed this Spring. What’s the rush? Well, if I’m going to pay that much money for something, I would like to see it at some point in my lifetime! Also, we had more put on the marker than just our names and dates. I will post a picture of it eventually…. Anyway, I was driving by the cemetery yesterday and decided to see if it was installed yet. I was surprised to see there was just a green stick in its place. I phoned the cemetery later in the day and asked when the plate would be installed. I told the woman who answered that the stick in the ground was lovely, especially since one of my favourite colours is green. However, it isn’t quite what we had in mind. She asked for the name of the deceased and I told her no one was deceased yet, it was for my mother and I. She said “So let me get this straight, you purchased a plot marker, but you’re not deceased yet, are you?” Needless to say, I was quite shocked as I have never before been asked if I was dead. I told her “I am pretty sure I am still alive – hello!” She was supposed to look into the status of the marker and get back to me. I haven’t heard back from her yet – she’s probably too embarrassed to call back.
My afternoon involved two meetings, one which was two hours and held at the library across the street. I was hoping to go out on field calls again today, but I’ll have to wait until tomorrow or Friday. I have Thursday off as a compressed day. I work an extra hour every day so I get two days and two hours off per month (compressed schedule). I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do on that day. Maybe my little mother and I can go for a flight somewhere. I’m sure she’s rolling her eyes right now as she’s reading this. I love you, little mommy! (Jan say “hmmmmmm….yeah, right!”)
Hopefully I will have a nice flight tomorrow and will be able to show some pictures to y’all.
Today’s symptoms: Not too bad in the morning. Headache is getting better. People at work told me I looked really drained. It wasn’t my best day but far from my worst!
