Back in Portland

It has been a long time since I have blogged. I guess life is less interesting here in Portland. Or I'm here with everyone who reads this, so there isn't much to update that you all don't already know! But in case you don't live in Portland, a few updates:

My dad is home, and has been for a week and a half I think. Although he still complains and makes comments that he's never going to get better, he is a million times better. Yesterday we got the all clear on the blood clots, which means he's done with the 2x a day shots in the belly. He was psyched about that! When pressed about how he is feeling, he does admit that he's feeling better every day. Healing just takes time, and he's impatient :) But really, it's a miracle how well he is doing.

Work at UR is crazy as usual, even from 3,000 miles away. I can't imagine 3 years of that drama, but you do what you have to do I guess. Work here is great, although ironically filled with the same type of work I do at UR (which we had never done at PRE before I left). But the people are great and it is really nice to be back at the place where I "grew up."

Fall is finally beginning here, and it's beautiful. I love the smell. It's rainy, but the weatherman promises sun for the weekend. That means it will rain. I hear that Rochester had SNOW last weekend. SNOW. In mid-October. Yikes. I hope that is not a sign of the winter to come.

Again, thank you all for the prayers for my dad, as they clearly worked.
