Long Day Short Post
Today was a goddamn roller coaster of good and bad things
The ER's ring lighting is so selfie perfect, what the fuck
I got to cross something off a bucket list, see some people I hadn’t in a decade, help my California family with a lot of minor but (so I’m told) pivotal things, but on the same hand my dad returned back to the ER (for the sixth time in the last 4 weeks).
It's a lot. I'm still processing all of it and don't have good words yet but I'm happy I'm able to be here at least temporarily to help.
Tomorrow night I catch a flight back to the east coast and I'm very happy to go home to my partner and my kids and our cats. That said, earlier today I was complaining that despite all the things I'd seen and done on this trip, I hadn't encountered a single cat.
WELL JACKPOT MOTHERfUCKER, COMPLAINING WORKS
His name apparently is 'Tofu', he loves scritches and roams the streets near where my parents live.
