So ... my mom called about 40 minutes ago to sort out travel arrangements for her sister's funeral next week...

... she has to fly in from Nova Scotia, I am picking her up at the airport, and we're driving 1.5 hours to the funeral ... it was a long-term illness (metastasized brain cancer), so not a sudden thing, which is kind of good. Sort of.

So anyway. Spent the phone call sorting out timeframes and costs and whatnot, and she said there was something she was supposed to tell me but she forgot. So, she let me go ...

I went with coworkers to get some snacks for the morning (mm, chocolate chip muffin), came back, realized my phone was still on vibrate, so I turned it on.

Less than 30 seconds later, it rings.

My mom says, "Oh yeah - happy birthday!".

Hah.
