Thanks all for checking in!

OT and ST
oooh like the note idea!!! Next time, for sure. Actually WHAT a cool idea - H thinks he's opening a note about how to take care of the dog and ooh-la-la!

ST
Yes I did get that book actually - and thank you for the reminder! I think I'll read it again. I remember it being really good and it's probably VERY good timing (much better than just post bomb, for sure).

Thanks! On racing, possibly... no racing for H himself but he wants to go to some events. He may be going without me though (more in a minute).

-----------------
Some journaling...

- Does anyone know how to share large files? I have the 1 gigabyte file of the racing that I want to post but can't figure out how.

- Got a very upsetting call from my dad today. He is trying not to freak anyone out so he made it sound all casual but after thinking about it I realized that 1. He had a heart attack last week, and 2. He has a procedure tomorrow and Friday to help ward-off future heart attacks. He's only 60. I had a bunch of other GALing plans but canceled so I can be w/my dad, either at the hospital or home depending on how it goes.

- H keeps asking if I'll go to his race this weekend. I want to, but depends on my dad. And it sucks because one of the reasons H gave for running was fear of my dad (due mostly to his depression, probably also why his W has walked away). Soo.. H is asking, but I'm afraid to commit to anything, and afraid to say anything that makes my dad's health seem even scarier. He doesn't know about the heart attack and it sucks, I wish I could tell him and get hugs but I don't feel safe doing it right now.

- Went to the dog park for a cruise/visit tonight and had a GREAT time. Met a group that usually has set times to get together and will be back for sure. My poor girlie is exhausted (she's 10 and was keeping up w/a bunch of pups and 1-2 year olds!). But we had a lot of fun.

thanks for reading, caring, and the hugs!!
