Improvments

Stardate 58041.0 (4-10-2005)
Visited with my dad yesterday. He complains that he is not making progress. I asked him how physical therapy was going, and he showed me that they make him raise his leg and move it from side to side. I pointed out to him that when he got to the place, he could not make his leg move at all. He is not as strong as he wants to be, but I don't think that will ever happen. If he can get some semblance of an independant life, I think he would be happy.

The wireless router is fully functional now. I am typing this on the old laptop. It does work well for log entries, if little else. At least I can do it while sitting in bed, instead of the basement.

April's lab inspection went great this last week. The inspectors found no deficiencies, which is almost unheard of. April's birthday was Saturday. Friday morning, after taking the kids to school, I fixed her breakfast in bed. Eggs, sausages, bananas, and some rose' wine with coffee. It was visually appealing if I say so myself. I love to make meals like that. I read somewhere that a meal should look as well as taste good. I succeeded this time.

At scouts Tuesday, one of the mothers asked me about my Star Trek jacket. Actually, it was not about the jacket, but if I had ever been to a convention before. I told her that I had been to many conventions. She told me she had booked a cruise, and later found out a Buffy convention was going on the same ship. She worried that people would be walking around dressed as vampires. I told her it was likely. I have no idea why it freaked her out. I guess I see it as fun instead of weird. 

We did more home improvement this weekend. A light and switch was installed in the storage room, the outside lights were replaced, and the hole is getting filled back in. There is much more to be done, but it is getting there.
