so dad called and we talked for a long time, and it was really nice.  he's dealing with his bells palsey, now 9 days old, and he seems in good spirits basically.  he asked how i'm doing.  just a good nice conversation.

and then MOM called right as i hung up with him.  at a party and heading to antones, so she wanted to call and wish me happy new year before she got to the loud club.  so sweet!!  so thoughtful.  they both know i'm home alone, and i had a stomach flu, and i'm having these issues with shawn, so they both thought of me and called.  i feel very loved.  kind of the nicest way I can imagine starting a new year. :)
