• phone call from cousin catching me up on Mom
• Mom's out of the hospital
• there are a lot of people clearly concerned about her, and at least I'm not the only one who doesn't know exactly what to do
• I have the possibility for plans tonight, but no pressure to actually make them - so I can stay at home and work but not feel too dorky
• a peer met me for lunch to give me lots of advice about being on the job market next year
