I wasn't feeling well by the time Mark & Mollie got up on Monday so they went to the store and searched for my father without me; leaving a note on his door, just as I had planned on doing. I felt better by the time they returned home. In retrospect I should have slept, instead of using the time to clean my room, and work on my DCAU page, but I had no idea I'd be awake so long.

I spoke to Michael on the phone. His grandmother wasn't doing that well at the time. She's being kept alive by machines and last I heard they were trying to make a life or death decision. It's all very terrible and very stressful. In my heart I think she's probably ready to go, but I don't know her well enough to say. But her quality of life would have to go down from where she is now, and she didn't look like she was in the best of health before. My heart goes out to her though, and her family, especially Michael. They seem like such a good bunch of people; not perfect, but what family is?

We picked up Adam around 7pm, and went to GameStop to return one of the Wii Controllers that we had bought used because it didn't include a strap and we also found a new one online for cheaper. We also went to Whole Foods which has become one of my favorite places in the world. I got some things I'd never had and tried them. Later Mollie made pasta for us all and I liked that too, but I didn't like that it cooled off so fast; I preferred it hot. We had garlic bread as well. It was nice to have a meal prepared at home and we ate together - it was very strange for me.

We played Apples to Apples, and Pandemic, along with some Wii Games. The first game of Pandemic was fun, but around that point I started getting extremely tired and cranky, and Mark & Adam didn't seem to be getting along...and I was worried the night was going to end badly, but that didn't happen. We eventually took Adam home and returned to the condo, but on the way there I started coughing and had a hard time stopping. Mollie later pointed out that she was sneezing around Adam and that it might be that he's from a house that was filled with cats for a long time and maybe our allergies reacted to that. I hope she's right; I hate being sick.

I'm EXHAUSTED. I really would like to work on my DCAU page. I'm very excited to have the time to do that...only I don't have the time that I want. lol I did work on it a bit earlier; fixing some problems that I've found, but I didn't really move the process forward...just worked on what I'd already done.

I'm going to bed as soon as I finish my tea, which is supposed to be good for the immune system.
