Hello everyone! About time for an update. My mother is recovering nicely. She was on steroids the first week of her being home from her brain surgery with minimal side effects. Has a little bit of short term memory issues but she seems 100% fine everywhere else. Her leg from her knee surgery last year is finally getting better. She no longer requires a walker or crutch to walk around! She's pretty excited about that!

A few weeks ago my parent's house was broken into and some family heirlooms were stolen (several hundred year old, hand made shotgun among other things) from a secret lockup hidden in the house (my dad was a little paranoid about someone steeling those things before I was born). Only a handful of people know where that secret place was so it narrowed down the list of suspects pretty quickly as only one of them had an MO for such a thing. For those that have been keeping up on recent events you can probably guess who it was. At any rate the police have been informed and my father has been talking with the local pawn shops. Turns out he knows a lot of the shop owners. Tends to happen when you build vintage motorcycles in a rural town I guess.

The days have been getting shorter where I live. Have to figure out a better work schedule so I'm not staring at computer monitors for ages in the night. Been getting headaches pretty consistently because of it despite adjusting screen brightness and the like. Might just need to wake up earlier in the day. The joys of winter approach! Hopefully I can be timely about the work on the infamous backlog and start living again instead of floating. Cheers!

One thing that helps a LOT with the eye strain is the thing optometrists refer to as the "20/20/20 rule". If you're sitting at a computer for extended periods, every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break where you focus on and stare at something at least 20 feet away. This helps prevent eye strain and fatigue, both of which are significant contributors to headaches. I work as a CAD engineer and staring at a screen for 8 hours is basically my entire job. It has been night and day how much better my eyes feel and how many fewer headaches I get since I started actually following my optometrist's advice and doing this.
