The alarm on my phone went off as I was resting on my bed. My mom kept going back and forth between being really understanding and reaming me out for not calling and keeping her updated. I was ordered to attend the next family dinner and bring Echo with me. My parents wanted to meet her.
I turned off the alarm and got out of bed. Before I’d made my phone calls, I’d showered and put on my pajama pants. It was a good plan, because I needed recovery time after the call with my mom. My boss was a lot more pleasant to talk to.
He wanted me to work my regular shift starting this Tuesday. Pierce totally understood when I told him that I needed last week off because of what happened to Echo. He’d called in a couple other people who were looking for more hours that week to cover for me.
