before bed last night, dad told me he was gonna
need my help to shovel the snow this morning. i went to bed and set my alarm.
as my alarm goes off, i wake up and walk outside my room. it’s dark and quiet.
thinking he was going to come get me when he was ready, i come back to my room
and doze off. idk how long it was, maybe 30, maybe 45 minutes (?) and i wake up
again. he calls my name so i go out my room. as i open my door, he’s dressed in
a button-up walking down the stairs. i asked if he shoveled and he said he
already did. i’m thinking how the hell did i miss shoveling?? i don’t think he
even came to my room to let me know. and if he did, then i must’ve been in deep
sleep.
damn…
