Wake Up in 2026:Life After The Stroke

Hello Tuesday!!!!
Yall, I’m wearing heals!! The first time I’ve worn heals since I got out of the hospital. I’m so stoked. I love heals. Starting to feel like myself again. Dana and Karma both said be careful. Of course I will. Trust me, I don’t want to fall.
Every morning I come in and “wake up” the office. Turn the lights on, open doors, turn on the big monitor for the cameras, etc. When I do this, it makes me think of my Grandaddy.
When I was in high school I pretty much lived with my grandparents. He would take me to school every mornings. However, before taking me to school, he would have to stop at his job. He worked for an electrical supply company doing their books. I hated this. The building was very old and creepy. 2 stories and I hated, HATED going upstairs. It was a family business that was run by his cousin (?), Murph, Gladys-Emma’s husband (she’s a story by herself). I asked him one morning why he insisted on doing this. I mean Murph would show up before we left anyway.
He looked at me , with a very serious look on his face and said, “Suga, who would turn on the lights? Who would make the coffee? Who would wake the building up?” I replied, in true teenaged fashion, “Murph can do it. He’s here anyway.”
Granddaddy laughed his great belly laugh and replied “he owns this place. That isn’t his job. He doesn’t know this building.”
That has always stuck with me.
Me thinks Granddaddy was more “intuned” than he was allowed to let on.
