I'm a bit bummed out by something that happened today.
I was hungry after work, I stopped by Arby's. I was going to get it to go so I bought a sandwich and nothing else. Well I wound up sitting down and scarfing it at the table, got halfway through and NEEDED a drink, which I had some in my lunch bag in my car. As I'm walking out, I overheard an older woman receive a confusing phone call, from a first responder, her mom had just had a stroke and was transported to Macon. She was visibly upset, even more that she didn't have money for gas to get to Macon to see her mother. I went outside, got my drink so I didn't choke to death, checked my bank balance (I give what's leftover from my check to my wife to put in savings so I carry a very low balance) and went back inside to offer to buy her a tank of gas.
She was gone. Like a ghost, literally in 2 minutes.
Sorry for the ramble. It's been bothering me today and I hope she and her mom are as well as can be.
