• What a Fusspot!
  Sometimes I worry about Daddy's health too much, I know. There's always a little doubt in the back of my mind that goes "I've already lost one parent - what would happen to me if I lose the other one too?" That's not the main concern, though. The main concern is that I love him and I'd miss him so much. I'd be completely devastated, whether I could look after myself or not.

So when he came home with a few mild pains in his shoulders and a bit short of breath a couple of weeks ago, I panicked, thought he was having a major heart attack, and ran to the phone to call the ambulance. He laughed at me, and said "What a fusspot!" and that he had just been working too hard, and that a soak in a nice hot bath would fix him.

But today I found an article in the Canadian Globe and Mail called "Chest-pain-free heart attacks more deadly" showing that I was right to panic, and he was wrong not to.

• Shopping
  Yesterday Daddy picked me up after school and took me shopping! I chatted with counter assistants about all sorts of makeup and fashion and asked them lots of questions. Most of them were eager to help with advice and tips and samples, and I bought lots of stuff. Some of it was expensive, but I told Daddy it was worth it.

• At Home
  I put on just a little makeup, not too much, and presented myself to Daddy. He was really impressed! He said "Oh, you do look nice!" not just once but several times! :) And later, just for that, I massaged those stiff shoulders of his, and the back of his neck.
