My grandfather is back in the hospital again. It seems he had some sort of event, which seems not to be a heart attack and might be a stroke or might just be overwork, but nobody knows. He thinks that as long as he's at home, he can do whatever he likes, which seems to include not doing anything they told him to do the last time he was in the hospital. If the therapists insist and he can't get out of (for instance) walking with a cane as long as he's in the rehab center, he'll do it, but the minute he gets home he won't do it any more, and won't let anybody tell him he should. Sigh.

Back to solid overcast, but not actually raining, today. I haven't actually seen the sun since I left for Toronto last Wednesday. Hotels are good at that, and it was raining in Toronto besides. I think we brought the rain back here with us.

This week's composition exercises (which I forgot about until last night, when I was too tired to start them) have officially gone off the deep end. I've exhausted every resource I can think of in search of a translation of "insubstantiality". I finally had to reword it in such a way that it completely missed the point of the exercise. Silly people. 40 more sentences to go...

Oh yes, I should remember to put in another earring to replace the one I lost last week.
