Wouldn’t that be a sacrifice on her part then, since she voluntarily removed
herself? She did a lot to keep you alive *lol*. I think things would be
different if she were still here with us. She is missed whether she knows it
or not. But factoring her schedule it’s also understandable. She would get
swamped when the list is in high traffic mode, then she would really be annoyed
at you at that point.

thinking to myself why didn’t you just listen the first time when I told you
instead of both my driver and one of the supervisors acting like I was an
idiot. So, I try to call my disability person back and he had already started
making the trek over so he had to walk all the way over there to just find that
I was where I needed to be. Hopefully that does not continue to be a problem.
