But first: my son's union local has voted to reject management's latest contract offer and authorize a strike. I just checked their web site, and there's no word on when they walk off the job. It does say, though, that negotiations resume on the 30th.
And now for what I really wanted to write about: Good Sister texted the other two of us at 0615*. That's fine; I was (just barely) awake already as usual, and I'd told her that it's OK to text me at that hour. And what did she have to say?
23 And Me told her that she's more susceptible to bunions than most, and should take care to wear comfy shoes that aren't too tight. (Our mother had bunions and wore overly tight shoes after the dementia hit.) I had to tell her that I've already been to bunion hell and back, and might still be there** if it hadn't been for the pandemic.
It was just such a classic interaction between GS and me that I had to write about it.
*Good Sister lives in the Eastern time zone, so it was a much more reasonable 0915 for her.
**My narrow heels are gone through attrition, but I still have some tall, chunky heels and lots of pointy booootz with heels of various heights. At least these days I wear heels about once a week instead of three or four times, which seems to be sustainable.
