The Empty Throne

We had a call this morning from Mum, telling us that Z’s dad was back in hospital… colour none of us surprised. Still, don’t know whether it was shell-shock or what, but Mum seemed to be handling it fairly well. As she said to us, and to D — someone else taking the weight of this off of her is much appreciated. He sounded pretty upbeat himself when he called while we had popped around for a coffee, so. I think that we all accept that we’ll not see him at home until sometime next week probably, and in a way, being unable to visit is better for Mum’s sanity. We can’t pop around, there isn’t a time available, stay home and safe, bosh. Z is gonna run a bag of his stuff to the hospital if and when we can, but otherwise… he can call and chatter at the lot of us about how things are going. He, at the least, has fluid in his lungs, so being at hospital where they can help with that means that he is absolutely where he needs to be.

So yeah, fun. Not. I am full of snark and catty and I am trying to sit on it ’cause it’s not going to do anyone any good. I’m still ticked that he charmed his way out of going in for observation/treatment the other day, which… pointless, I know I know. I’m just frustrated for Z and Mum atop being frustrated in his direction for not taking care of himself, etc. So here, page, you can have some of my ire and hopefully it bleeds off enough that I can be a better supportive ear to my loves.

What else, what else… I had to re-reset the old laptop, ’cause the random shutdown in the middle of updates meant that it refused to do any further updates. I tried every workaround and repair, and nada. It, fingers crossed, seems to be doing okay with the updates now that the second reboot is done, so fingers crossed.

Work-work didn’t get worked much, but yanno… *gestures up* Happens.

Right, got an Etsy order to process, so gonna do that, and get back to knitting. I finally finished the first sock of the current pair today, so it inspires me to work a bit harder and see about getting the second done faster.
