The News: Good Decision Monday Edition

Yesterday, I was asked to work this morning at one of our outdoor venues. Knowing I was going to be at best emotionally unstable after spending the day with my father (who is in rapidly declining health), I opted to turn it down. When I woke up this morning to one of the more fabulous thunderstorms we’ve had so far this year, I looked at the clock and realized that had I been working, I’d have been unloading a truck at that exact moment. So while the fact that I am a little mentally screwed up today sucks, I can thank it for my not working outside in a thunderstorm. Or afterward, since I can already feel the humidity climbing to ridiculous levels as the storms move out and sunshine takes their place.
