It's too damn early. Sometimes having the Denny ability to sleep for only a few short hours and still be refreshed would be nice. No such luck here, however. But I wanted to get up early and work on a few things while no one else is up and there is still relative peace and quiet. That won't last too much longer, but at least I was able to think straight enough to deal with the problem I was having with my latest project. I think I have it fine tuned enough to go on to the next part now. Since I was already here and needed to get an update done, I thought I should go ahead and do it before I go back to bed for another two or three hours. More sleep would definitely be nice.
Things still look to be on schedule for Topaz's mother to be heading home next month. It should be right around the middle of the month, although a date hasn't been chosen yet. Topaz and Alyce will go back with her and make sure she's settled in, and she'll have a nurse and physical therapist visit her at home. She's getting along all right at the moment, although she's still supposed to take it easy. She's not supposed to walk too much, and she's certainly not supposed to carry anything. She tries, but that's not surprising. She's very stubborn.
I did get a voicemail on my phone from my brother a couple of days ago. It was just him telling me I need to call and giving me a number. I haven't returned the call yet, and I'm not sure if I will. I haven't even told Amber about it, although she'll read this and see it, so I might as well bring it up. I have no idea what my brother might want, and I'm not sure I want to find out. I have to wonder if my mother is ill, or worse, but I don't know. I'm not feeling very familial toward either one of them. It's probably wrong that I don't feel the desire to find out, but I can't help it. After her earlier treatment, I just can't muster it. I'll feel bad about that later, I'm sure. Of course, he could have said something in the message to let me know if it was something like that, but who knows with him?
All right, I need to try the sleep thing. Charlie's up now and soon the kids will be following suit. Maybe I can fall asleep before the predictable loud voices and running around.
