The fact that I get to spend 6 nights in a row with ktspktsp, beginning tomorrow, brings a great deal of joy into my life.
Otherwise, I got news that my mother went to Reno for her birthday with a new friend to celebrate, and my dad is buying into a small company that will reduce the number of hours he breaks his back as a manual laborer. I am glad that they are each taking these small steps to take care of themselves (separately), instead of taking steps to somehow shorten their own lives. The latter usually brings me a great deal of stress, so this news lightens me considerably.
