Straws

Last night Mary Beth and I went up to the hospital to visit my mom right after surgery. It seems to have gone well, but it was a major surgery and she was just off it so she was in a bit of pain. I held her hand while we waited for the nurse to come back and give her more meds. When we arrived, Dean, Uncle Tom, and Aunt Becky were there too. There's kind of a goofy story. I'd asked my dad if he needed us to bring anything, he said no. Then when we parked at the hospital I'd gotten a text while we were driving that they could use some bendy straws. So we left to go to the store quick and pick some up. Then we're at the store and I get another text saying nevermind the nurse brought 'em some. Well, we got picked some up anyway. Anyway, just a little goofy crossed-messages anecdote. Then there was work today. Things winding down and all. My team was the only one that met all their objectives for the pi on time. Well, alrighty! I neglected to mention in my last post that yesterday at work I finished reading The Waves by Virginia Woolf. It was really good, but I'm going to need a bit more time for it to process and settle in my brain!
