Was up late. Got cleaned well. Am planning a walk with Mom later on if she's up to it. Tried to do some writing last night but failed to lay down much. Will be writing most of today while waiting for Dad to return from surgery.
Brushed and had a latte for breakfast. Watered Dad’s orchids. Mom and I will hang up the washing and go buy some bread and snacks for lunch. Successfully plotted out the remaining chapters in Inexact Science. Should be done by tomorrow. Hit the shower circa 11am.
Helped do some chores, hang the washing, take out trash. Seems last night, there were CNY hooligans outside our gate. May be wrong. Dad's surgery was only partially successful and he is incapacitated for a few weeks. We have to get him snacks and things to do. Maybe we'll play some chess or go walking more.
Dad called us just now and says he's fine, waiting to be discharged. Mom says I may have to bathe him as she isn't strong enough anymore. Keep him clean and give him air-conditioning so he won't sweat in this tropical weather. We live in a large valley, so the air is rather still mostly.
...
Went out with Mom to get some food from the grocer nearby. She's getting balmy and less aware especially across roads. We bought some bread, canned food, biscuits, and ice cream which Dad loves. Nothing to do all afternoon but write my novella. May even finish it by late tonight if possible.

Had dinner. Creamy tongchoy pork omelette that Mom made. Dad is home, no worse for wear, just has to take it easy for some time. Apparently he cannot move certain muscles which must be a torture to try and remember at 76.
I wrote a hot Christian Episcopalian Medium article -see DogBlots.blogspot.com for the link. Took a shower and brushed. Will take my meds at 10pm and work out then as well. Beginning to feel stiff with too many hangers-on.
Almost 10 and I have an aching stab point on my head. Dangerous to exercise right now. I applied to be a slush pile reader for FFM. Something to do with my day, and read some material others wrote. Diversity is cool and where gems of thought are discovered.
Managed to work out. Feeling loose and invigorated but it’s getting close to 11pm when I usually turn in. Didn’t take a sedative tonight so I can write a bit more.
