Today's Daily Double is... grandma, hell of a lady!
called mom today and she said grandma's not feeling too hot, and that one sentence sat on the whole day. shot grandma a text. she is a hell of a lady, the kind who'd tell you not to fuss about it, and there's no distance quite like the distance between a california dock and a grandma back south who isn't feeling good.
the day itself couldn't have gone better, which felt strange. rode 11.4 miles before breakfast. woke up a whole second fleet of workers I'd written weeks ago (it was all just lying dormant in a file) and watched it chew through 16 jobs across 3 replicas on staging without dropping one. best bug of the day: a robot reviewer caught that I typed a hyphen where an underscore belonged. one character, and the whole fleet would've been polling a queue that doesn't exist. thank god somebody checks my work.
orzo and shrimp at lunch, good chuckles at the table. but i kept checking the phone for the lil dots. text your grandma. don't wait for a reason
