So...

Posting this because I am using ST as the repository of my mood since you guys know what I've been going through.
Usually, when I wake up (generally between 8-9 am), my Dad is up already (he goes to bed around 11 pm, wakes up, showers and is out and about around 8 am).
Today I woke up around 9 am. He was not if the "office" (next door to both our bedrooms, which used to be my Sis' bedroom). And he was not in the kitchen, nor had he been up (he would have grabbed the newspaper already).
I panicked. I tried to keep a straight face and waited for him, while I had breakfast. Nothing. I came back, peeked, saw he was not in the bed, and the bathroom lights were on. He emerged a few minutes later, laughing that he overslept a bit. All was hanky-dory.
Jeez, I am a mess. I was near tears all morning because of it, worried about him. The fact he was up and well in front of me was sort of irrelevant.
