Well a strange and stressful week it has been and still it goes on. It seems the doctors changed their minds on doing Dad's tests today so for now he remains in hospital. Also it's been stressed that they really wont know the cause, or long-term consquences, of his heart-attack until the angiogram has been carried out which leaves me slightly less reassured than I was before. He does though still seem to be reasonably comfortable in hospital and much happier being off the high-dependency ward where he was first taken so there is at least no immediate danger it would seem. Still, I remain a bit of a concerned and confused creature sat up here but when I might actually be able to go down and visit remains somewhat up in the air. Still any need I may have to settle my nerves obviously takes second place to my Dad's need for rest and quiet. If peoples wish me down there I shall scamper off but otherwise I sit and wait for news and do my best to get back to what passes for normal ways up here.

Heh, at the moment though I do feel rather adrift of things and I keep having to remind myself what day of the week it actually is. I didn't do my usual work at the shop today, though I did drop by to update them with news and share in a few slices of our manager's birthday cake. I will though be doing a shift tomorrow morning so I shall be able to update them with these latest changes to the news I gave them today! Then the plan is to go and scamper off to see Mum and step-Dad at the caravan for dinner. They also might be going away for a short while tomorrow so I might have a bit of cat-sitting to do next week as well. Still, some quiet time with kitty would be very welcome after all the drama this week has thrown at me methinks.

Between that I will try to sort out things for my passport, although whether the planned grand family holiday in France will happen now I've really no idea. Apparently they've said that Dad will have to take things particularly easy for at least the next six weeks, though it's about seven weeks until the holiday, who knows how things will be then? I can't really think that far ahead to be honest right now, just trying to get on with what I would have been doing. My Open University tutor has at least been particularly kind though, assuring me in an email not to worry about my assignment and she'll mark it whenever I can get it in, so that was nice at least. Hopefully the people at the job centre will be as equally understanding when I goes to see them on Thursday.

The town has been immersed in a swirling, spooky sea fog all day today at it rather feels like my brain has been too. Still, for now I can but do my best to try and get on with things here and wait for news on how my Dad is getting on. In the meantime I hopes that the world is being kind to everyone and I guess we shall see what the next installment brings.
