counting

Today I heard from my mother that my father was in the intensive care unit. 

He might be out of the hospital in 3 days.

I sent him 2 texts. 

I attempted 5 crossword puzzles. I almost finished 1. 

2 hours later he sent me 2 texts back. 

He has 1 IV tube in his neck.

I bought 1 bag of Takis and 1 bag of Sour Patch Kids, and I could stomach 7 of each.

I've been alive for 31 years, 3 months, and 6 days.
