plea for good thoughts/CEPT request

My dad is going in for surgery today. Fairly standard hip replacement, and he's in very good health. But I'm still terrified. So please, good thoughts, prayers, devotions to the FSM, whatever. I know he was going in at 8:00 this morning, but he wasn't sure how long he would have to wait prior to surgery...I'll update as soon as I hear he's out, safe, and sound.

Dad update

Dad is doing well. He came through surgery like a trooper, is in a lot of pain and cranky - which is as it should be (the cranky, not the pain.) Last I heard, he was still in some kind of holding tank; apparently there's a room shortage at the hospital.

Today has been otherwise extremely crappy. I fucked up something in AD at work, our basement flooded, the malted milkshake I got at DQ to make me feel better is a substandard cup of malted milk, and the headache I've had all week is back.

But, in better news, I'm home, I'm wearing my "Joss Whedon is my master now" shirt, and we're having bacon cheese fries for dinner.

This weekend...mow the lawns, buy shelves for the basement and move everything out of the wet boxes onto shelves, catch up on sleep, pay bills.
