2018-10-19 Stayin' Alive! Yea gods, I'm busy today. At least, it's Friday. I'm on call this week until next Tuesday. That makes it a little more stressful than usual but I'll manage. I hope the weekend is quiet. Still trying really hard to avoid the news since everything is getting worse everywhere. It seems that every selfish miserable asshole is going into politics to the acclaim of people everywhere. I'm really worried about the world we're leaving to our kids with leaders who have no thought except the bottom line. My Dad is okay, I think. I had to come into the office today so I can't check on him. My cousin is going to drop by and see him tonight. We have things to take care of so we're not going to be home for the earlier part of the evening. I think he'll be very happy to get home. I'm really concerned about his ability to drive though. I've left a message with his family doctor but I haven't heard back yet. In any case, the weekend is coming. Hoepfully, I'll get a bit of downtime in there somewhere.
