Chief... Engineer's? Log, Stardate :: Hojo, make a noise at this for me.

Got communication from my mother today. Dad's doing better, finally out of his coma, but apparently he isn't responding to his histamine treatments as well as he could be. Iresine Syndrome is something that's supposed to be easily treatable, but I guess even that can have it's complications. Maybe I'll throw a call out to Luka, see if he has any opinions on it.

But she wanted to know how I was holding up. I guess we didn't get to spend too much time with each other over shore leave, what with the circus being as busy as it's been. It seems weird for me to admit that I missed being asked about. I hadn't realized how distant we had all become until recently.

I mentioned my promotion to her, and she immediately had to drag Grandma into the call. They were both so proud. So many promotions in such a short time, though I guess it makes sense, given the history of the former Chiefs. Not that that changed their pride any, and it made matters worse when Grandma mentioned Grandpa was proud too, wherever he was.

I haven't been able to sleep at all tonight.
