Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin I've been waiting for you

We've made it to the weekend, and I'm looking forward to going out to lunch with my friend from 911. She also has a new job, so we have a lot to talk about.

Yesterday was sort of sucky. The grippy sock vacation became a necessity, as we ended up sending dad to the hospital. His oxygen level was in the 70's and 80s, and he just wasn't doing quite right. The EMTs were nice enough, but of fucking course, when they checked his oxygen, it was perfectly fine. We insisted on having him checked, though, so off to the hospital he went. The hospital is at least taking it seriously, in part because his C02 was through the roof, so obviously, he wasn't getting enough oxygen. So he's staying at least overnight, and we'll go from there. Hopefully, they'll keep him a couple of days and get him all fixed. The xray showed some fluid in his lungs, which is not ideal. They weren't sure if it was an infection, but since his white count jumped a bit overnight, maybe that will have changed. We're figuring out who will go down to visit today.

If I had to guess, they'll probably send him home tomorrow, but we'll see.

But for today, we're going to relax and enjoy the quiet. Even having to go see him this morning will be better than dealing with his all day demands.

I have a lot that I'd like to get done today. I put in an order for a couple of pair of bike shorts for Jess, and my new glasses are in at Lenscrafters. Sadly, at two different malls. I may get the glasses today and the shorts tomorrow? Or maybe the other way around. Both malls are pretty busy, so I'd like to get there early. Eh, we'll see.

Either way, I've got to get my ass in gear. Everyone have a wonderful Saturday!
