They ended up not leaving for the entire day and returned at 12:30 PM with loads of groceries for a big dinner tomorrow. They're having Ken and Irene from next door over.

Well, all that worrying was for nothing. I wasn't sure whether we'd be going to see some kind of "family counselor" or unlicensed "therapist" or some friend of my father's, but it turned out to be an actual psychiatrist.
