Yesterday I attended my grandmother's funeral in Syracuse. It was nice to see family from all over the Eastern and Central states, however sorrowful the setting. It was a long day, as I had been up around 2AM to attend a meeting with folks overseas, and we only got home around 10PM from Syracuse. I did something I rarely do, that is switch driving with Katie for about 30 minutes.
For me, driving is one of those things that falls under the "protecting my family" clause written iinto the man contract I signed. It takes a lot for me to not drive, but I was getting tired, and I decided it was protecting my family to give me the opportunity to close my eyes for a short break.
The first group of people have departed already, with another group leaving soon. I am on a later group, and still have a short time home. A positive for being close to leaving is we are only working half days now. It is nice to leave at noon, because I can be home in time to put the children down for quiet time.
