Labor Day

Wasn't it great to have a 3 day weekend? (Apologies and kudos to those who actually have to work holidays...I had to for may years). But man, it was awesome. 24 extra hours without having to go to the workspace or get on plane was pretty nice after the August we all had.

Then, smack...it's Tuesday, and everyone goes back to work. Today -- everyone includes Dad. He got to get in his own car today, go get a haircut, and go into work for a little while. With everything, there's still the weakness and the tiredness that comes along with his recovery. But it sure as hell is a good a start. And when Mom said he got concerned over the normal things that concern him in the store, that was also really good to hear. It means thoughts are shifting away from medical things and over to normal, everyday, stuff-ya-gotta-deal-with things.

Hope your day at work was reason to celebrate too...even though I'm banking it isn't ;-)
