An emergency trip to LensCrafters at Woodfield - one of my nose-piece thingies fell off, complete with screw which I somehow found. I'm going to need to get some eyeglass screwdrivers or something... I could have done this myself if a) I had the tools and b) I could actually see what the hell I'm doing - after all, it's my glasses that I needed to fix...
Talked to my mom on the phone - sounds like dad's neck-thing is getting worse. I can't get a good description out of her or from my sister (an "alien growing out of his neck" is not exactly a definitive description of what's happening). I'm bothered by the fact that only a nurse has actually seen him, and that was a few days ago.
Looked out the window this afternoon - and it looks like it started. The trees. They're not exactly green anymore, though they haven't turned the yellow/orange/red of fall. But it's started.
