77. Connecting with mother

Two posts in one day, yes. I called my mother since it was my anniversary, and she wanted to wish us. Today, all these 1000s of miles apart, we just connected. It happens once in a while.
It is not as if we normally fight about things. Usually, I quickly tell her a few things about my life and work, and she does the same.
Today, she spent a good deal of time talking about my brother's marriage. My parents are looking for a bride for him. It sometimes takes time. She was telling her that all the neighbors kept asking her why it was taking time. I told her he was still younger than my father was, when he got married.
I then told her that I was thinking of quitting work. I told her I was tired. She seemed to understand. I told her that I wanted to travel around, take it easy for a few months.
She asked about my wife, who is equally eager to quit.
Well, both of you are highly qualified, so you shouldn't have any problems getting a job if you want one, she said. I assured her that that was probably true.
Secretly, I hope never to go back to a 9-5 job, at least not for too long.
