Ups and downs

My dad's in hospital again.  I've talked to his nurse and doctor, and both say he's stable and will be moving to a regular room soon.  I hope that I'll be able to talk to  him tomorrow, but for now, while he's in ICU, I  have to rely on what the nurse says.   I found out on Saturday when my cousin posted a message to my Facebook.  Sigh.

Other than that, not much going on. I spent Wednesday morning filling out applications and mailing them in. I had a horrible headache and just felt yucky, so I stayed in mostly and caught up on some TV. Thursday I went to the county fair, which was fun. The friend I was supposed to go with wasn't feeling well so I went by myself, but that was OK. I rode the Flying Bobs (my favorite ride!) the carousal, and went down the big slide. I had some huckleberry ice cream, and then was bad and had a corn dog. (Bad wheat, but ohhhhh so good!) I didn't stay long, but it was nice for a few hours.

Last night I was watching Rachel Maddow when a commercial for Wounded Warriars came on. Imagine my surprise when they profiled a buddy of mine from Basic. If you want, the commerical can be found: here  Alan is a sweetheart, and I'm glad I got to go through Basic with him.  I was lucky in that there were a lot of good people training with me.  *Raises glass to them all*
