I need that "Go away, I'm angsting" icon that's all over Sherlock fandom.
For the folks who read this to actually keep up with me: change of plans. Am *not* going home on Saturday. Have offered to stand a clinic shift instead. Will be calling home after shift; if I can't see Dad in the hospital, I can talk to him. And I'll set aside the crash kit I made for my folks to store at their place (toiletries, a change of underwear, pjs, spare shirt, phone and ipod recharger, emergency knitting) to take up when I go up in a few weeks.
Surgery and recuperation have *finally* hammered a little reality through his stubbornness and he admits he can't do my taxes, so along with getting the car maintenance and trying to get an appointment for DB (who is about to run out of meds and who is not taking to the pill at all well), I need to squeeze in an H&R Block appointment ASAP.
Stress levels suddenly though the roof. Having to take four tries and use two computers to renew my Big Finish subscriptions not helping.
On the upside, I'm taking tomorrow off, and now that I'll still be in-state I can catch up on chores. There are so very many to be done... I want to get the library cleared out to the walls so I can use my tax refund to redo the floor. Am looking at click linoleum for the ability to do patterns, but will probably get the original wood refinished.
