mudder

i forgot to let people know that my dad's surgery was bumped back by a week. i got several very thoughtful notes yesterday asking how he is. another patient needed emergency surgery so he's now scheduled for next monday barring any other emergencies or him catching a cold/stomach bug.

did you know that there's a difference between a rabbit and a hare? i totally thought they were the same thing, but it turns out they're not. it doesn't even seem like their related species only very similar. they can't even be cross bred like a horse and a donkey can or a lion and a tiger. hm!

today i saw the word instigate and totally thought it was a typo. how strange! i actually really like the word instigate, but until now i don't think i've ever seen it in writing before. it was like this weird foreign stranger to me in print.

man, there's so many things that i don't know. hares and instigate...

i don't know if it's possible to get colds and sore throats from stress or busyness, but i think that's what i had. taking yesterday to rest has made me feel 100% better, except my back muscles are a little sore. i need to learn to take care of myself better.

i may be coming down with the winter time blues. i'm starting to feel a little bit of that separation anxiety i was feeling this time last year. and in hindsight, i think i experienced it this time two years ago too. not just separation anxiety from b, but i feel a constant desire to be home or among safe people. maybe it's simply a hibernating instinct or something. i would beeline home this instant if i could. i think there's just something about winter that makes one want to be warm and curled up on a couch in cozy clothes.

man, i could go for a cinnamon heart right now. i think that's a winter thing too.
 
we will take to the halls in the city.

I came back here on Monday night specifically for an update and when you didn't post I figured something like that happened. I'll be praying for you and Joy and your dad on Monday that he comes through with flying colours. Your faith is high!
