Friday afternoon, and we got off an hour early. I was able to hit the grocery store and get home for lunch before we would've normally been let go. (Also got the gas tank topped on the way in. Always feels good to have a full tank of gas. Don't even like to go below a half-tank if I can help it.) So I just finished up a chicken strip lunch (with a Mountain Dew, 'cause it's been a while and I need the caffeine.) I'll be heading out to the workshed soonish; time to add the black bits and retouch, then glazing, which I might do after dinner. (Dinner will be hamburger and potato chip, so that doesn't take long to prepare.)
And I may have figured out an alternative to those spheres I can't paint yet... will have to check to see if that'll work today. Would be nice if it did, 'cause it would save me at least a day's work on those blasted things... plus the trouble of figuring out where to balance a bunch of half-painted spheres in my workshed. It's not like I have a bunch of little sphere stands running around for just such an occasion.

Well, the day took an iffy turn...
Dad's still rather out of it from whatever this bug is; had some incontinence issues, and some responsiveness problems. Sibling and Mom are out getting supplies, and I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on him until they get home. If he doesn't get better, we might be taking him in tonight; he could need fluids or something. (We still think it's some sort of flu that's having a magnified effect because of his age. He did get the flu shot, but that doesn't mean it's not a strain of flu.)
On the plus side, he seemed to keep down broth. And if stuff's going through him, it's not the intestinal issue I was secretly fearing. I think he's just been whacked extra-hard with the flu stick, though he may still need assistance getting through it.
