    My mom for me. 
    She texts me about an hour after I get to work to let me know her and my aunt are checking out nursing homes for elderly with dementia / Alzheimer's for my grandpa (92yo) today and they told him on the weekend and it didn't go over well but he needs the extra care etc. And then she finishes the message with asking for pics of DS to cheer her up. 
    Now why is she a TW? Because she could have told me this on the weekend, not when I'm about to start a full day of work. I feel really bad now and I'm totally distracted. I feel bad for her, for him and for being mad at her.  But omg this is not the right time to do this! She could've waited till work was done today too. 
    Total disclosure: I haven't messaged her back. Idk what to say. 
    Maybe I'm the TW? 
    Sigh.

    @sandbar517 thank you :) I do still feel a bit like human garbage for getting so annoyed but also I think I really needed to hear that it wasn't the right time for her to tell me that.

    @ivyvines6 I cannot control my emotions when I am tired. I hope teaching goes okay and you get some sleep afterwards!

    @onesmallcoconut I'm sorry she told you during the work day. I try to appropriately time when I give people bad news, but even the best intentions can go wrong. Maybe she didn't want to ruin your weekend. I hope your grandfather ends up liking the nursing home (I know it's a hit or miss. My husband's grandmother loved hers and made a lot of friends. I'm sure the situation is compounded by his dementia though. I am sorry you are going through this.)

    @sandbar517 I hated the printers at my work. I would always have to add cushion time in when printing something for a meeting bc I knew the first 2 or so printers I would try would be broken.

    @silverhope thank you. I'm hoping he ends up liking it as well. He already lives in an assisted living facility but as his condition worsened it's just not feasible to keep him there. He needs round the clock attention now. It's really sad to watch happen. Plus the place they are looking at is one town over so I think the idea of being "shipped away" is scaring him. Even though really it's about a ten minute drive from our city.
