My dad's doing a lot better. He's been moved from Iowa City back to the Quad Cities and placed in a rehabilitation center where he'll be doing some pretty extensive physical therapy. The doctors are pretty optimistic, which I guess is a good thing. He's in a lot of pain since they jossled him around quite a bit on the ride, but mom said he's quite a bit happier where he is. And of course the family's happy because now they can all go up and bug him. Thank you all for your nice thoughts and prayers, and comments.

In other life, etc. news, today was day 3 of work at Home Depot. They threw me on the floor today and left me alone behind the services counter for about an hour. In which, I mixed up three Will-Calls and deliveries, deleted a customer account, and screwed up the register. The good thing, though, is that my supervisor just laughed and walked me through fixing it all. She was pretty nice about it, and so were the customers. Of course, my bright orange button that screams "HI, I'M IN TRAINING!" button kind of helped that along.

*headdesk*

Since I've sworn off dating, men, and going "out" pretty much altogether (yeah...that's a whole nother topic), I decided that since I have tomorrow off, I spent pretty much all of next week's food & misc. budget on a cheap bottle of wine, provisions for smores and apple cider. I'm having a feel-good-movie-mania. On the list: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Mannequin, Mean Girls, Ghoulies, and Simply Irresistable. If I don't blow up like a Macy's float, I should be an almost-happy camper by tomorrow night. this is pretty much just to distract me from...everything.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well.

Glad to hear your dad's okay and the family can go see him.

Sounds like the new job's not too awful--enjoy a movie-fest!

Cider and smores sound really good! Damn, now you have me craving it and no way of getting the stuff.

Hang in there, bay-bee, it's gonna be okay.
