I already said what I did. Play plus bbq plus normal weekend stuff.

It's insanely steamy out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My skin is going nuts. I blame the weather.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If you were putting together a care package for an 35ish year old woman who was going to medical school, what would you put in it?

Both good ideas.

Does anyone have any advice for how best to speak to someone who's suddenly showing strong symptoms of clinical depression? My dad, who's normally very chipper and upbeat, has been in such a state of misery the last few days—apparently in reaction to an antibiotic—that he's seriously frightening my mom. He's blaming himself for every problem, saying that he doesn't deserve to do things like watch television (when Mom tried to cheer himup with some comedies and game shows), and made a comment about there being a lot of pills around the house.

While I've of course helped cheer people up when they're down in the dumps due to unpleasant situations, I've never dealt with someone who is in that seriously bad a mental state, and I'm very fearful of doing or saying something that will make things worse.

That is a hard one, Matt. I would do my best to make him (or your mom) talk to the doctor and see if this is an expected side effect of the antibiotic, and see if there is an alternate drug or something that would counteract it.
