Sad day here

This is a sad day. Hubby's grandmother passed early this morning in her sleep, at home. She was 95 years old, and not in the best of health. Last summer, we were all surprised she survived, as the heat nearly got her then. But she is in a better place, has no more pain or troubles, and had the best passing she could - in her sleep at home. One of the Aunties was getting her a cup of coffee for starting her morning, took it in, and found Grandma, who likely is sitting somewhere saying, "Darn it, missed that last cup of coffee!!" The one time we met, we got along well, as I had taken my crochet with me and she also crocheted, it turned out, and we talked needlework for hours while hubby and the rest of the menfolk were outside talking vehicles. No idea yet when exactly the funeral will be, but now we have to get the truck rolling (it is narrowed down to likely the throttle position sensor this time) so he can go to the funeral. He gets three paid days off for bereavement time. I get one unpaid day for the funeral, so I will have to skip it all, sadly and go to work. Buggrit, as Foul Ole Ron, would say. (#GNUTerryPratchett)

With that, I need to get my butt in gear ASAP so we can hopefully have time to go to Harrison, get the part and pick up the truck from the mechanic on the way in to work. He has had all week to work on the thing and has not even touched it yet. As it is, when I texted him to let him know we NEEDED that truck ASAP and why, and he literally cussed me out in a return text. He may be a good mehanic, but he has just lost our business, even if he is the mechanic for the guy we are buying the truck from. So it is a bit of a stressful day. Thank you ahead, everyone, for your condolences, as we know there will quite a number of them forthcoming. Hugs and love, all. Hope your day is better than ours.
