One week back

Got up around 11. Got a cappuccino and my favorite curry-chicken-salad thing from Starbucks. Met my new across-the-hall neighbors, who were moving in, on the way back. A young couple. When they asked, "Are you our neighbor?" I resisted the urge to add "But not for long" in my reply. Spent the mid-day reading and writing some email, doing some laundry, listening to Philharmonie on the stereo. Played bass for half an hour, got two big blisters to show for it.
Went up to my Dad's for dinner – pot roast. Talked to them about the course, things at work, and such. Was concerned when I first saw Dad, he's got a black eye but it's kind of reddish/yellow type of bruise. Was scared that it was some side effect of the leukemia, or the medication. Nope! he ran into a door. Got up in the night, stubbed his toe on the dresser, then reeling from that, ran headlong into the end of the open door. The force knocked him back onto the bed, and Sue thought he'd been knocked out! Heh. ouch, but comical. Anyway, it was good to see them. Got sucked into helping Dad fix his computer a bit, he'd created four-deep recursive Documents and Settings folders by doing a few botched backups, and that had left them confused. Showed them the TF2 movies, they laughed.
Enjoying some continued email correspondence today, discussing aims, and the emotional effects of going on these courses. Interesting and therapeutic for me.
