I think that it says a lot about how my father’s life goes that he’s currently in the hospital for what at first appeared to be pneumonia, but is actually posion ivy he inhaled during yardwork for his estranged wife he doesn’t live with anymore.

He’s permanently disabled and isn’t supposed to be doing yardwork anyway.

_sigh_
