Sounds like it’s Dude’s turn to perform the pickup.

y’know? you’d think.

but i don’t fall back asleep easily after waking, most times. and when he does this, he not only wakes up, bangs around getting ready, slams the car door like a zillion times, etc., but he also comes home afterward and bangs around and gets back into bed, and i wind up lying awake the whole time between and usually have just dozed off when he gets back home, and then he bangs around getting un-ready before getting back into bed for like, twenty minutes, and i usually get up ten minutes before he does anyway, and so like

nobody gets any sleep, least of all me

when I do it, well, I work out by the airport, so I just– stay out in that neighborhood, get a coffee, go into work super early and get a bunch of stuff done. then dude’s sleep’s not disrupted (if he doesn’t get 10 hours of sleep a day he’s fucking useless. this is why i decided like a decade ago that there won’t be kids. i’ve never regretted that decision.) 

so, i’ll do that tomorrow. i don’t mind, i just– she said she’d arranged with him that she’d call to remind him the night before, and I knew that was a standard thing, and so just assumed she’d done so, and for some reason it didn’t strike him as odd that she hadn’t, and none of us can figure out why.

I know I wrote it down wrong on my calendar, gcal is notoriously difficult for me to use on mobile, i figured i’d write it down wrong and then have to ask which day it was supposed to be. i just. i just.

i don’t know why i assumed that he knew what the fuck he was talking about, because he has literally never called his mother in his life, so.
