i have. in fact, i was like that today. where i had to put forth a lot of effort to make my eyes function. the thing is this has been a long week and it's only tuesday. lots going on with school and teaching and work. and yesterday i found out my dad is in the hospital. he had an aneurysm in his brain and luckily they caught it quickly. he had surgery last night and they clamped the artery that's been causing the problem. the surgery was pretty invasive in terms of my dad's skull having to be removed in one place. the good thing is that he's in great spirits. before the surgery he was saying he was happy that this happened because now he has proof that he has a brain. (classic ron parks line.) he also told my mom today that he wanted her to make him a cardboard bill for the bandage on his head. i guess he's missing wearing his usual trucker style hat. (and not the von duch trucker hat...the real ones. he has one that says: "wisconsin: land of cowpies and beer farts" or something like that). so, fortunately dad is doing really well under the circumstances. mom had a tough time yesterday but is also doing much better now that dad seems to be okay now. i'm looking forward to spending time with the family this weekend. (thanks to all my awesome friends for support me with talks or beer or cheese fries or laughs...ya'll rock!)
so, i have to read for a while and then get some sleep. busy days coming up as well!
