Good things

[amethyst73]

1.  Dad came home yesterday!  His depression does in fact seem to be basically gone, although according to the social worker, he's still 'fragile'.  (Surprise, surprise.)  His memory, both short and, alas, long, are another matter entirely, and that's presumably why he's having a PET scan next week.  And the aphasia?  Well, it's there.  He's not been told about the diagnosis for a couple of reasons: it's only tentative, and they realize perfectly well that *if* he were told right now, we'd probably have a relapse on our hands.  But, he's home and seemed pretty happy about it last night.  :)

2.  I raced very well in Wave Race last night, and had more than sufficient points after the fourth race in the series to finally open up the other two courses in the Normal Mode.  And ended up third overall in terms of points in the six races - whee!

3.  It's Friday.  Just about always a good thing.  :)

4.  We're seeing a bunch of local storyreading friends this weekend!

5.  In only two weeks, we'll be seeing a whole bunch of less-local storyreading friends!!!!  Yaaaaaay!

Yay happy news! I hope your dad continues to do as well as can be expected.

Re: Wave Race: We recently also picked up a copy and have been having much fun. I suggest trying around with different racers. I found that the pink racer is much, much easier for beginners (turning is much easier with her). I was able to beat the normal difficulty using her, and to open up the extra race on hard. However, she has a low top speed, so I've now switched to the third racer, with slightly customized control, to try to beat the hard circuit. I don't think I would ever be able to beat the hard circuit with the pink racer, let alone the expert circuit.
