Gawd, it's been quite a handful of weeks. Here's the short story, and it's still pretty long ( Read more... )

after a knock to the head while loading debris into a dumpster, my dad was concussed for several days before finally being coerced into going to the hospital. the cat scan showed that he had internal bleeding in his brain so they kept him for a few days to see if they would need to drain it via a hole in the skull. luckily, his body began ( Read more... )

a weight has been lifted, a bit. Enda has signed a lease on a new apartment, a one bedroom in the apartment complex next door to ours. he moves in June 1st. i helped him fudge some information so he could sign the lease on his own (not telling what--those are espionage tricks of the trade). to thank me for our elaborately planned ruse he got me a ( Read more... )

phew. so much has happened i've been kind of reluctant to try and post any of it.

I'm at home now, hanging with my Dad, overjoyed to see him and nagging him about making healthier choices. He went shopping and came home with most of the produce section stuffed into a paper bag, as well as oatmeal, yogurt, Mrs. Dash, fresh fish. No more salt, no more butter. I think I might even be able to pry him off of his recliner and go for a ( Read more... )
