Reading day
Feb. 4th, 2025 10:22 pmI set an alarm for 10, then when it went off, hit the snooze and then finally turned it off and went to sleep again. Got up a bit before 12. I know what I'm doing, I'm trying to avoid reality. Tomorrow I gotta' get up and visit Oldest Brother in the hospital.
Anyway I finally got up and ate breakfast and had coffee. The Kid texted to find out how Oldest Brother was and I told her. She didn't respond.
After breakfast I went and started reading the Elizabeth Moon book. It has some distinct similarities to Bujold's The Warrior's Apprentice, the first Miles Vorkosigian book. I'm enjoying it.
I read for hours, til 6, then I called the hospital to check on Oldest Brother, they told me to call back in half an hour so I got on the computer and puttered til 6:30 when I called back and talked to the doctor. They changed his antibiotic because they cultured his bacteria and he had a resistant strain. But now he's doing better and they are once again trying to wean him off the ventilator.
At 7 I Skyped the FWiB, and we talked til it was time for my meeting. That was at 8:00.
The meeting was pretty good, but it's sadly obvious that M is declining rapidly (she has some kind of dementia, probably Alzheimer's).
After that I had dinner, and went and played solitaire on my phone til pet feeding time.
After this I shall go read and hopefully finish the Elizabeth Moon. Last night I downloaded the new Jonathan Kellerman Alex Delaware novel, and I'll start that after I finish.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. Fudgesicles.
4. Good books.
5. Reading day.
6. Oldest Brother doing OK.
