It's been hectic around here. Dad is slowly getting his strength back, and this medical scare has softened his attitude. It takes a near death experience for him to appreciate everything and everyone. I've been on spring break this past week, but it was a pretty sucky one, until Thursday when I saw Thespian Man on campus for costume design work. Things moved really fast between us that day, and it got awkward. We were supposed to see each other today, but our schedules didn't match. We most definitely need to talk about our "status." Tomorrow begins classes again. I'm half glad for that.

For a quick update, Dad came home today. We have three breathing-related machines for him now, on rental, which we know will be covered this month for his share-of-cost insurance, but we don't know what April will bring. I'm so very tired and exhausted, more emotionally than physically. Needless to say, the topic of moving is the main emotional drain right now. Updates are going to still be sporadic.

I do not have time to update. Dad was taken to the ER on Wednesday. He had congenital heart failure. I'll update, hopefully, more over the weekend.

My voice is raspy and starting to go. I'm kind of glad for that, as it means I don't have to talk to Dad. Very mature, I know. He wants me to take him to the hospital on Friday or Saturday, and I have rehearsals all days, and he says to drop them. Is it heartless of me not to take him? Neighbors have offered, there's non-emergency hospital transportation. I want to start pulling back with my nursing duties. Classes went well yesterday, and I went out to lunch with Thespian Man and our other stage manager (I have to think of a nickname for him). Things are going with Thespian Man and myself, and people are always teasing and questioning us. I need to know what is going on! I have earth science, a drama club meeting, and my improv rehearsal. My voice will be all gone by tonight, I'm sure.

Ugh. I feel horrible. My cold is raging. I barely slept because my throat is so dry that I kept coughing and gagging. Before class I'm stopping at a drug store to get some lozenges and something called "Saliva Replacement." This better get me through the day, as I have lit., directing, meeting with my lit. presentation partner, and then rehearsal.
