And he came home

Mike came home today. Mom had told me that it could be as early as today for him to be back, but I was skeptical. No one called me to say that he was home either, which irritates me, but that's the way that things tend to work for me and my family.

I was in Frankfort today finishing up a job that Solarity began about two weeks ago. We handed over the documentation that I worked on and helped them out with a few additional remaining items. When I left around 7:30PM tonight, I was only planning on calling the house and asking how Mike was ... but something told me to go there instead. I stopped in, much to mom's surprise, where she was fixing a drink to take back to him.

Seeing Mike back in his bed made me feel a lot better. Better than I had in several days.

I asked him how he was, and once again he was in good spirts and trying his damnest to piss off mom. She was harping on him about needing to get out of bed and move around, which I made her back down on. Yeah, she's the nurse and all ... but I know how my father thinks: he wanted to rest. I explained to mom that he was wanting to just lay there for the evening and that he's already had a long day as it was ... there was no need to push him on right after he gets home. It worked and she backed down and went into her room.

Mike and I talked about this coming weekend and his desire to play Clue. I told him that I'd most likely be back on Friday and we could play then. I really think that he's looking forward to playing, but I worry if he'll be able to play comfortably. I guess I'll have to make sure that he can.

It's kinda funny ... when I was a kid, I was the one who kept going after Mike asking him to play Clue with me. I know that I made him sick of it. It's his fault tho. Heck, he's the one that brought the game to me, after all. I find it nice that the roles have kind of changed a bit, he's the one asking to play now.

I'll play as long as he wants. :)
