Congrats! Did I tell you I lost 5.2 last week? I got a Five Pound Star at the meeting.

We haven’t heard from the aide who’s staying with Dad, so assume all is fine right now. He was eating lunch with a good appetite and reasonable motor control when we came over here to Mom’s apartment. She’s looking at getting more helpers so he’ll have help with walking.

She has a meeting with the staff in a little while, and I will go and take notes, which is one of my superpowers. Speaking of which, I was just sitting here reading the newspaper while Mom was on the phone with her bank about something, and she has weapons-grade deadpan sarcasm. I’m sure the youngsters on the phone missed almost everything.

Tom is supposed to be getting his hair cut today. I texted Jamie-our-hairdresser and told her I’d pay based on how short she got it!

Good news about your dad! And congrats on the Five Pound Star.

Sounds like your mother has had a little experience dealing with youngsters in financial institutions!

It also sounds as if your dad is in good hands. That’s a relief!
