7/10

i speak to my brother at 6 am
he has been on the road for a few hours already and is approaching my mom's area
even though we know she needs to make a trip back to her old house
we decide it is early enough for him to try to find her at the new place
i have only been there once,
we have no address,
i give him the best directions i can
and the phone goes dead
cell service is very spotty in this neck of the woods
there are too many mountains to get stuck between

i hear from him again around noon
they have made 2 more trips to the dump
picked up the stuff the movers left behind and my mother has left for her closing
i am finally a bit relieved
