Jan 26/13 5:32 AM (FOR JAN 25/13)

It was a long day. I seniorsat then found out my father needs a serious operation in the near future. I did a good job at covering up my emotion. Later I went with Cookie to Subway for supper. I almost got into a scuffle with one of my neighbours who has been giving her a very hard time lately. I'm glad he backed down as I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm getting too old to be taking on people who are about six foot three and over 300 pounds. The pipe is finally fixed in the basement. The plumbers broke it three or four times trying to fix it. It felt so good to see running water again. After that I had some beer and sake at my landlord's. I hope today is less stressful so I can relax and nap at the market.
