life is better

brief update: dad is feeling better, i didn't have to drive to sf. my back is feeling better, as well. didn't get an x-ray, since it felt significantly better by monday, and i was pretty sure i hadn't injured a rib or a kidney. it still hurts to do much more than walking or laying down, but sitting is less bad, and it bugs me much less overall.

on a positive note, i cooked for my friends yesterday (turkey things, like chicken things that cin knows and loves but with turkey, and potatoes with dill and garlic) and everything was yummy! success!
