and the lunacy continues....

I checked with our office manager several times today to see if the fax came from the funeral home. The answer was "no" each time.

I had an appointment with a dental specialist (that's a whole other story!) this afternoon. I was tired and stressed when I left the dentist so I called the office to see if the fax had arrived. Still "no". I told the office manager that I wasn't feeling well so I was going home, if the fax arrived to please scan it to my e-mail and I'd deal with it tomorrow.

At 4:30 PM, as I'm driving home I get a call on my work cell from a number I didn't recognize. Answered the phone the way I always do "This is First Name." The person on the other ends asks "I am speaking to First Name?" My first thought (OK, I'm not feeling well and am cranky as a result) is "Did ya not just hear me say my name???" But this is my work number so I remain professional and acknowledge that is who I am. IT'S THE PERSON FROM THE FUNERAL HOME!!!!!! She's just then getting ready to send me the paperwork. She says she got busy today and is just now getting ready to send it. Okaaaaay. Then she says she needs it back tomorrow!

I know I'm stressed. I know I'm tired. I know I don't feel well. All this adds up to a cranky Liz, but for pity's sake it seems everyone involved in this mess thinks I should drop everything I'm doing and do what they want RIGHT NOW!!!!!

My mouth hurts. I'm exhausted. I don't feel well. Oh yeah - I AM GRIEVING TOO!!!!! Now that I've gotten the rant out of my system I'm going to veg for awhile, watch tonight's new episode of Gotham and head for bed.
