What a crazy Friday! Thursday night, we got a call from my aunt (my dad’s sister). She told us that my grandfather was not doing so well. His health hasn’t been good for a while and she is thinking that it’s any time now. So, Friday I spoke to my boss about me possibly going to Thailand this coming week. We would still need to hear the final word from my aunt, but if it was a go, we’d leave pretty soon.
Everyone was really great about it. I’m not a workaholic, but I do feel ownership and responsibility so I asked if they could put the company email on my phone so that I could check in every now and again while I’m away. My boss dismissed that right away, because she didn’t want me incurring costs. She offered to get me a company phone if I really wanted to stay connected. So, before I could snap my fingers I got a phone with international capabilities.
My aunt called us again last night and it seems that granddad is doing a lot better. He’s eating on his own and he’s more engaged than he has been. She told us that we didn’t have to come yet, because it looks like he’s improving. I’d still like to see him though and plan on going to Thailand sometime in the near future.
So, as originally planned, my siblings and I are heading to Las Vegas tomorrow. It’ll be nice to get away for a while. I will try to keep you posted!
