Well, my Mother's procedure got rescheduled again, this time I pray without any complications getting in the way. So as part of her preparation, I'm staying completely out of the way, and will instead be staying over at a friend's apartment for the day. I'll pick her up tomorrow after the procedure.
This is now the second try we're attempting with this particular arrangement. Last time, the procedure got delayed, and my friend kindly let me stay over again. Definitely grateful to him!
My friend's apartment is genuinely very small, and the last time I crashed on his couch, which was tiny! I couldn't even straighten my legs. The good thing is that I don't usually keep my legs straight when sleeping, so the size actually didn't bother me at all. It was warm (a contrast to my apartment building, where we have to beg our super to turn on the heating more than half of the time) and I slept like a log.
This time we'll both be finishing work a little bit earlier than the prior time, so maybe we'll be able to spend a bit of fun time together, i.e. eating something, maybe watching a movie on his laptop. I will have to get up rather early to go to work, so I won't be staying up too late.
So that's today's plan.
I know I'm posting this rather late, but I prewrote this ahead of time because I knew I would not be on Hive today. Useful trick for those who sometimes can't make it on to Hive on a daily basis: you can write more than one post in a single day, and schedule for it to be posted at a later day and time!
