work work work!
Well as it turns out, I have to work tomorrow morning, and then again on Thursday. So, I'm going to post some photos from Tianna's visit to Ms J's school and Ms C's school. But I will give the narrative...sometime soon.
So much for this job being one week per month.
I like being the admin assistant to a realtor, though. I'm not complaining about that. It's just a big adjustment for the whole family routine.
Ruvs ya, I'll check in again soon.

Indulge me yet again, dear readers. Both of you. Well, all four of you, if we include Walter and Anonymous.

Please view this video I shot at The Boy's basketball game. My only regret is that I did not get a shot of Pa as Jack Nicholson.
I am providing you a viewing guide, to enrich your experience. The Boy is #23 on the Titans. (white jerseys)

Oh, and Pa is out of the hospital! They let him out this morning. He's so glad to be home. Still seeing double, though.

10 hrs of ER without commercials
My Father, 67, whom the brownlettes refer to as "Pa", is in hospital. My mother called me late Saturday afternoon and said she wanted to take him to see a doctor. He had been dizzy much of the day, and had started seeing double.
Turns out, Pa had a stroke. A mild one, and doctors are optimistic. But he has to have a few more tests before he can be discharged. Plus, he's still dizzy and seeing double, and gets vertigo.
It's been a really tough couple of days, waiting for Mom (whom the brownlettes refer to as "Mita") to phone with updates. I'm worried about my Mom, worried about my Dad. But I guess, other than the symptoms I've described, Pa's doing just fine.
When my Mom arrived to see him Sunday morning, he proceeded to give her the lowdown on everything that had happened in the E.R. that night. Two drunks came in who had been in a fight, etc. etc. Then he tells Mita " It was like I watched 10 hrs of ER with no commercials". hahahahaha. The old guy is still crazy, that's encouraging.
