So nothing has changed. He is still grumpy, still not feeling well and getting fed up with us asking him how he is all the time. The greyness hasn't gone and Dad still looks like he's been run over with a truck.

Nothing more can be done now until he wants it. He's always been stubborn that way!

Unfortunately, I'm a bit grumpy myself today. I've been up all night with a toothache. My right cheek is swollen and I look like a chipmunk. Hopefully, I can convince the Evil Dentist Queen to take me in on an emergency basis when they open in half an hour. After last week's 5 day migraine, I am really tired of feeling the pain. Ugh. Never bloody ends.

But in good news, I've been asked to go on a business conference to Chicago at the end of the month. I suspect it will be to discuss my long-term situation with this company - although I'm not entirely convinced it is where I want to be. However, I will hear them out. The unfortunate part is that it's October 27-29, which means I won't be able to take Ms. Thang and the gang to The Great Big Boo.

More later when the Tylenol kicks in.
