Very pleasant day, even if it got off to a bit of a weird start.

Woke up about 6:30, and realized Glen hadn't left for work yet. He was on his way out the door, but said he hadn't slept well at all. Not terribly surprising after the long, busy couple of days he'd had, and for some reason his cough was bad last night.

I asked if he was ok to drive, and he said "I think so." Wellllll... "I think so" wasn't going to cut it, so I asked if he wanted me to drive him to work. He took me up on it, so I went and threw on some sweats. When I came out, he was sitting looking very tired... I suggested he might want to call in and take an actual "sick day"! He did.. and we both went back and got another 2 hours of sleep! Then we went out to Starbucks for breakfast... I had my reduced fat breakfast sandwich and non-fat quad latte. Glen had: a sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich, a pumpkin cream cheese muffin, and what Kevin calls the "Dad Mocha":a 1/2-caf grande mocha made with breve (half & half), with extra cream, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Came home and he relaxed while I worked on paper work including entering the most recent ALSA Ride checks. After Kev got home, we played Beatles Rockband. Glen chose to sing... the man may not remember what he had for lunch, but he remembers Beatles lyrics that I swear I've never even heard! The game is great... the background graphics are so trippy... one has to remember to not look at the backgrounds... they're really distracting!

So I believe tomorrow I am indeed driving Glen in... the agreement being we don't leave until after Starbucks is open!! I'm not driving to Sunnyvale and back without caffeine! He actually admitted to me that driving is getting more difficult. Not surprising, as he's definitly lost more function in his left shoulder.

And tonight's post ends on a very positive note: As of today, Kevin reached his goals for both personal and team fundraising for the ALSA bike ride! He has already raised more than triple what his original goal was. Anyone who would still like to donate can go to his web page: Curbstomp ALS!!!
