Huh, talked to dad's gf. If he stops being so stubborn and starts to eat & drink, he could go home Sunday. Turns out, the main reason he was inubated so long, he got pneumonia between check in and being in surgery.
I also talked to my aunt, his older sister. We talked for nearly three hours! She's not taking dads surgery well. I think she's sensing her own mortality or something. And pushing 70 with no kids, she sounds rather lonely. Which might explain the 3 hour call.
I dunno about my family. Nobody wants to call anyone, but when called, will drain your phone battery dry.
"Did you fast yesterday?"
"No."
"Oh. Well, you can start next Tuesday then."
"Su—...I'm not going to do it, you know."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to."
"Why not?
"Why should I?"
"So how's the job?"
"It's good."
"That's good. So why don't you want to fast?"
"Because I like eating food?"
"Okay."
That sounds like it went pretty well.
Maybe I'm breaking her spirit.
That sounds like it went pretty well.
Yeah. Plus it made me laugh....
Connie, freak out as much as you need to.
So we could clear up several things by mounting a Crusade against the Skull Lutherans (which sounds like a strange medieval heretical order--yes, we're in the strange joke stage).
This would be awesome! The phrasing certainly is.
P-C, that was great - you stood up for yourself without getting defensive or offensive. Good on ya!
I think my next Rock Band band will be Skull Lutherans.
so, I'm going on a work trip next week. I decided to download some movies from my tivo that I haven't had time to watch. I was very annoyed to discover that they had been copy protected. WTF? I just want to watch the damn thing, grrr.
