dad moved into his own room today! he's out of the icu (after 3 weeks) wahoo! i was just talking in therapy today about how important it seemed to me to have him move into his own space. just moving out of the icu lowers my stress level i think. it makes it more like he's going to be ok. i was talking in therapy today about how it's only been 3 weeks since dad went into the hospital. he was admitted on election day exactly 21 days ago. and to me it seems like months since that happened. that was the last time i really had a normal conversation with him. so many things have happened, oy. so i'm trying to do a few things, one is let myself be exhausted. because i am. i lay down to read and fall asleep for 3 hours. i don't have to be at work till 9am, and i can't get up early to go for a walk, i'm just closing my eyes and then opening them 8-10 hours later and i'm still spent. the dark circles under my eyes are slowly going away, i might have normal sleep soon. i'm trying to focus on seminary stuff again. i'm pretty committed to staying on the east coast i think. rochester/lancaster/richmond/louisville(the farthest i think) and i think there's a school in portland maine, but i'm not sure. there are also places in jersey and mass that i need to check out. i think i'll spend all weekend on the internet :O)
all this stuff with my family just really cements that part of my calling in this life is to my family, and for me that means staying reasonably close to home.
ok. i've rambled enough. i'm off to sleep! night all
love and hugs

For purely selfish reasons, I am glad that you will stay close to the East coast. It sounds like the schools are all good places, though, and that you would like the programs.
I'm glad we hung out too! That movie was perfect--not sappy and really funny!
Great news Rach. Very happy for you and yours...
