hope i dont turn gay

Dad was a lot better yesterday, it seemed. He was farting and it smelled, if that's a good sign. He was also pretty alert and looked like he wanted to talk a lot. Poor guy. A few more days on the respirator and he should be doin fine. In the waiting room a group of nice Hispanic ladies all prayed with me for my dad and my family. Their son/grandson is also in ICU, he got in a car accident in late October and was in a coma. He has lots of brain damage but he's a lot better then he was a month ago. It's amazing what prayer can do.

My week is getting busier by the second, I swear. After work I'm hitting the gym, then taking Mom and Michelle to visit Dad again. I finally get to go to bed at like 11am, then up at 6pm. Michael/Fernando's bday party at Hooters is at 7:30, Michael just told me about it earlier tonight. Thank god I got them gift cards. I'm hoping Cathy is attending, but since she and Michael don't always get along, I dunno. I'll even pay for her dinner if she wants, I don't care. Thursday afternoon I have a meeting with my boss at KDFC at like 2pm. If I take Mom to go see Dad again, that means I'm not goin to bed until like 4pm and getting up at 9:30.. or I could just shower before meeting with my boss.. and get up at 10:15pm on Thurs.. maybe that will work.

Life is just too crazy. Oh yeah today my dad flashed me. I saw way too much. I hope I don't turn gay.

a bit frantic

Dad seems to be getting better each day. Yesterday I visited in the morning but he was asleep. The TV was on so I guess he was watching it earlier. That's a very good sign. In a day or so he may be able to be weened off the respirator. The day before yesterday he was conscious and knew what was goin on, waving at us. He's making progress for sure.

In other parts of my life, things are okay. Sunday I worked at KKIQ, then visited Dad. Then I finally got to get sleep, then went to work. Monday morning I cleaned my house as usual, then took Mom and Michelle to see Dad. Afterwards I went home and slept. I had to get up at 4:30 so I could go to my parents' house to warm up Mom's dinner and get her insulin, since no one else was home. Michelle was at work and Cathy was at the chiropractor. Then I went back to bed. I got up at 7pm and took a shower, then made steak and steamed green beans for dinner. Cathy and Amy came over around 8:30 and left before 10, those fuckers. I took a nap from 10 until about 10:30, then came to work.

It looks the rest of this week/next week are gonna be kinda crazy. I'll be taking Mom to see Dad in the mornings, but probably not everyday. Later this week probably Friday I have an evaluation with my boss in SF, and either this week or next I'm taking Noelle to get her wisdom teeth out. Also, a week from Thursday is a holiday get-together at Applebees for coworkers. So yeah my schedule is a bit frantic.
