Kind of disappointed that its now been over two weeks since my last
phlog post. Then again, anyone who's read that can probably
understand why.
I'm not particularly good at sharing my private thoughts and
experience in a public fashion, caution born of bitter experience
and an overall distrust of the online world in general. I will try,
though.
My life, as of this writing, consists of four daily phases. Phase 1
I drop the small boys to school, and then work for five hours,
trying to keep half an eye on elder boy. Phase 2 I collect the TSBs
[^1], supervise their homework, maybe try to play a board game with
them. Phase 3 I relieve my wife in the hospital, and sit with my
daughter for a few hours. Phase 4 starts around 21:00, which is
when I leave the hospital, come home, we eat, fall asleep in front
of the TV, and then go to bed, ready to relive the whole pattern
again in the morning.
It's like my life in suspension, trapped in amber, so a longer
thoughtful post seems beyond me at this stage. I've received some
support from some people in my computer - people I've never met,
or, in a few instances, met once at a Discworld event some
mumblemumble years ago.
Gopher, and the Gopherverse, is a pleasure to read these days.
People writing about their normal lives, and concerns, and just
shooting the breeze. I don't intend to post a screed about anything
that's going on, but I do have some thoughts.
I think I'll try to write more things tomorrow. Right now it's
Friday night, my TSBs are happily enbedded, eldest is Simming, and
wife and I are having a beer. Daughter is in the care of her
medical team. Not all is right with the world, not by a long
stretch, but at least she is in good hands. And I have a beer.
