I'm home...

I went to work and had an honest conversation with my boss. I asked him if he actually needed me there in person and what kind of work he expected me to be doing over the next couple of weeks, just so we could make sure there wasn't going to be some point when I'd suddenly need to be there.

He basically told me I should go home and that it would probably be good for me.

So I called my mom and told her about the conversation. She said my room would be waiting for me. I also let my dad know I was coming.

I wasn't expecting my dad to pick me up at all, so I was already surprised when I saw him waiting for me. And then I realized he had brought my little brother with him too.

I definitely wasn't expecting that.

Then my dad dropped me off at my mom's house and, well, my room really was waiting for me.

So far, things are going better than I expected.
