I have actually been up for over 3 hours. I didn't want to post earlier because it would have technically still been Wednesday (I think?). I am very confused this week. My third destination in four days. Sigh. I am currently sitting in an empty hotel conference room 4 hours earlier than I need to be here. But I didn't know where I was going this morning or how long it would take me to get here and fuck it, I left at 2:30. Ended up getting here a little before 4.
Taught my group yesterday. Packed house; 15 students total. Good group. Only a few late folks but not so late it was a problem. We finished up around 4:45pm. No issues. I got back to the hotel about 5:30 by the time I packed everything up and cleaned the room.
Had dinner in the room because I ended up going to bed at 7:45pm. I finally got some decent sleep but of course I had to be up early. Plus it took as usual until day three to get decent sleep. Whatever.
Got some emails from my sister. As I anticipated my dad is doing fine as of right now. Prostate cancer is scary to hear but not to treat or deal with. I know she was stressing out about a lot of stuff at once, but hopefully this will take one thing off her plate. She also said something to me that made me feel good. That just because he is sick, I don't have to reconcile. Most people immediately go into pity mode when someone is sick and forgive them their trespasses. Not me. Because sick or not, it doesn't change who he is. He is still the same racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, bible thumping butthole he's always been. He probably thinks "god" saved him. You know not the doctors or scientists that created the medicine. Good ol' "god". Yep. Anyway, she made me feel better by validating my feelings about the situation. She also has lost a shit ton of weight and while I am jealous, I am impressed and proud of her. Kicking ass and taking names.
B is still in love with her fish. Best gift I ever gave her. She watches them and it makes her happy. All that matters.
I wonder where breakfast is around this place...
