as in about-to-fall-on-the-keyboard tired. I was on the phone with mom about a mundane issue when my cell phone rings. I ignored the call until I hung up with mom.
I checked the caller ID afterward and saw my sister's number. I was tempted to just let it go until tomorrow, but I compromised by listening to her message. It had a note of gravity to it. So I call her back to find out that my aunt died . . . mom's only sister. Not only sibling, but only sister.
Mom doesn't know yet. My sister asked if I could be there tonight. It's about an hour and a half drive, and I'm just not up for it, not to make it safely anyway.
And tomorrow morning, I have to be somewhere, which if I don't show up, it'll put me in a really bad position at work.
