Better than expected
Apr. 30th, 2002 11:58 pmMy parents are apparently still on talking terms, mostly due to major efforts at reconciliation on my father's part and numerous jokes, which my mother usually can't resist. It's very hard to stay mad at my father when he's like that.
My grandfather is still hanging in there, barely breathing and definitely not conscious, though apparently he can still kind of understand what's going on. From what the nurse told us today and what my father found out later, he apparently stopped eating and drinking last Thursday and refused to take any medication, but no one saw fit to tell us. *grr*
Evening with Curtana and Forthright was a welcome break from playing UN Peacekeeping Force with an increasingly agitated and upset Maternal Unit, who by the time I left had convinced herself that my father doesn't really love her, doesn't consider her his partner in life, doesn't think of her as family, etc etc...
She also came back to her earlier theory that my aunt is out to break up their marriage.
I'm pretty sure she's wrong. I mean, my aunt is an awful woman, but I can't see what her interest in that would be. She's too busy screwing up her kids' lives to be screwing up ours as well. *miaow*
Spent evening talking about parents and music and gaming with Forthright and Curtana, listened to amusingly regrettable MP3s. Was fun and distracting and I'm extremely grateful to them for putting up with me until such an ungodly hour.
Off to bed now.
