So how does everyone like the new look? It's simple and pragmatic, but it's missing a few things for me. Like the weight loss meter! Oh well, I'll find another way to implement it.

I saw Dave today, and he was moved to the Intermediate Level Care Unit (ILCU) because of a breathing problem. I gave him his birthday gift and it was great that we were able to talk for a bit before I had to go to work. He had a big poster wishing him well on his birthday from his aunt, ex-girlfriend and her daughter. It's great to know that I'm not the only one who cares about Dave, and that other people are showing him the support he needs. Sometimes... I get frustrated in that there's little I can do for Dave, other than spend time with him when I can. His health and his mental state are out of my hands. The only thing I can do is pray for him and sometimes it feels like it isn't doing much for him.

When I think about what Dave is going through, my problems don't seem as rough in comparison. My schoolwork is very difficult, but it doesn't compare to how difficult Dave's battles are. Maybe it'll inspire me, I don't know, but I hope things get better for the both of us.
