WHAT?!?! No Suit Jacket?

I knew Dad was feeling better when called me Thursday night to see if I could bring my less-than-functioning leaf blower over to their house. He wanted to see if the neighbor could fix it. I figured if he was up to directing from the sidelines, he was definitely inching his way to wellness.

We Freelans don't inch very well. Well, we do for the first three inches. Then we try to move straight into yards. When I showed up at their house Friday night after work, still sporting my power suit, leaf blower in hand, the patient's chair was empty. I walked in and said, "HEY! Isn't someone supposed to be convalescing in here?" Apparently he felt well enough to go out to his studio and do some work. When I called Saturday morning to check on him, he said, "I think I might have tried to do too much yesterday." Ya think??

I told Mom that at least now I know where I get it. Whenever I'm sick, the moment I have the tiniest ounce of energy, I feel that I must use it. It's kind of like the moment I receive a gift card...I treat it as though it has a 30 minute expiration time! :)

So today Dad went to church. I asked if he wore his jammie pants. No...he wore dress pants and a button down shirt. I said, "WHAT!?! No suit jacket?" He was quick to assure me that he did wear one this morning but tonight he thought he might just take one along with him. It's more comfortable without actually wearing it.

I think that is the best idea he's had yet. I'm about to leave for church. I think I'll wear my jammies and take along my dress clothes. MUCH more comfortable that way.
