A brief update: this is a good time for a long weekend!
Not bothering to friend-lock this. No emo here, and I'm guessing that relatively few people outside of friends read this LJ anyway. :)
Dad: Still there (not really surprising). Not that much has happened yet as far as I can tell. He has appointments for two things on Tuesday: one thing that Mom said was an EKG, but I think *must* be an EEG, and one with the neurologist - which had been set up some time before - to review the results of the neurological testing he did back in July. And his regular psych comes back from vacation this week. Talking to him today he seemed pretty depressed, which Mom confirmed when I chatted with her. Sigh.
Me: Doing better now. I've adjusted to The New Normality, such as it is: he's where he is, I call him every couple of days, and call Mom every night and try to help her de-stress. My appetite, which had largely left, is back to basically normal, and I've had three good nights' sleep in a row now! Also, played significant Zelda on Saturday... there, I *must* be feeling better, right? ;) Time spent working with pencil, paper, and 3 coins to do the second part of the Snowpeak Block Puzzle: approximately 1 minute. <grin> Admittedly, one of the blocks happened to be in the perfect spot when I decided that a real-world copy would be useful. But still! I'd seen references to Snowpeak Ice Block Puzzle in many different walkthroughs and kind of assumed it was a difficult puzzle. ..Unless there's another ice block puzzle somewhere in the mansion, which is entirely possible...
Weekend: Mostly very cool so far.
Yesterday we went to see the world premiere of a musical version of Jane Austen's novel Emma. It was very very very good! Folks in our area, you should go see it! Folks not in our area, hopefully it will be making its way to a stage near you sometime, and you should go see it when it does!
Today I did church in the morning, and we've done mostly useful stuff today. Sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, downloading Wave Race... ya know, useful stuff. ;)
No particular plans for today. Get haircuts, pay a visit to GameStop and get rid of Super Monkey Balls (and possibly pick up something else - the huz has a hankering for Super Paper Mario), make soup, clean the bathtub. And do nice things together.
Sound like a plan? :)
