Passing time

Awake early, teach, go home, pack, check in to a hotel to swim, distract myself and have a more comfortable morning for the funeral. Teach (well, story time), dinner, watch sunset, cry when kind messages arrive, sleep. Kind hotel staff, I broke down asking for a late checkout. I’m not sure if that’s why they told me not to worry about paying for dessert and my glass of wine. It wasn’t easy today.
