I sometimes wish I could be more of a ray of sunshine. Today started off well enough, I suppose. My friend was on time to pick me up for the airport (three hours early, just because things), and the first leg of the flight was inconsequential. The second featured an unscheduled layover for three minutes with no one getting on or off, and once we were back in the air, the flight crew actually tried to suggest the weird experience hadn't actually happened.
This before even seeing my dad once I got here. I was warned about his state, but there's no preparation conducive to navigating that. Mom has taking to saying "if he even lasts to Saturday ..."
This feels like it's going to be a long week, but hey! Indoor plumbing and HVAC!
So sorry you're going through this. Glad you were able to make it there to see him.
