always better in the morning
thank you for your good thoughts. i asked my dad this morning how he was feeling, and he said "i'm fine", in a tone that was partly reassuring and partly resigned to spending the rest of his life as the subject of filial concern.
which is all to the good, because right before i woke up, i was having a very upsetting dream no doubt brought on by the really heavy rain we're having just now along with recent world events. in the dream, there had been heavy rain for a while, and then it had let up a bit, and my parents had both left the house for -- whatever reason, it wasn't important to the story, and then the rains picked up again and they didn't come home and didn't come home and my brother (who was home -- and this wasn't in our house, but some sort of loft apartment downtown; look, the location doesn't matter, really) worried that they'd been swept away but weren't sure it was safe to go out and look for them. look where? who knows, but we had a neighbor who was going out in an SUV to look for someone else, and so we were thinking about going as well.
i mean, really alarming! the fact that when, in the dream, i broke down in tears from the stress and the fear, my mother was there to assure me that she was scared, too, didn't really register with me in dream-time; i didn't remember that feature of the dream until after i woke up and heard my mother on the phone from another part of the house.
file the whole night and morning under "gah".
