Good morning on this lovely day! It's a cold, but clear morning, so that's a good thing. I again have nothing planned for the day, so I'm just going to take it easy and relax.

Bonking myself on the head seems to have pissed off my neck (in addition to my head), which is kind of annoying. I mean, it's not surprising, my neck tends to get pissy about almost anything, and between the initial impact and flinching back, I probably jerked it around pretty good. But it's still annoying.

I got my work email set up yesterday, so that's ready when I start. They must have activated my account when I first got the job, because holy shit, I had 260 emails. Most of them were trainings that I need to do. When I start, my first four weeks are all training, which is good. It gives us a few weeks to settle in with Dad home before I'm on the phone.

I'm dreading having him home. This has been such a nice break. I'm not looking forward to going back to the physical grind. Hopefully, it'll be slightly less, but I'm not holding my breath. I think it's still going to be exhausting.

He continues with project "Don't be a dick," which is nice. And he said that other residents have started to engage with him, coming over to cheer him during his rehab. Hopefully, he can keep that attitude for us.

A few dollars of my unemployment check cleared, so I paid some smaller bills, and splurged on a king cake for Tuesday. I fucking love king cakes, and I got an email last week that our local bakery was going to be selling a limited number. I was going to get two and take one to the rehab, but there was only one left when I tried to preorder, so no cake for them. I will try to take a cheesecake or something next week. They deserve a treat for putting up with him.

With the rest of unemployment check clearing on Friday, we have actual plans this weekend! I need to get new tennis shoes, since mine were a casualty of the stomach bug. I usually get Sketchers, and there's an outlet downtown. It's not far from the Original Pancake House. So, I plan to go get shoes and then go get a Dutch baby pancake.

We have no D&D scheduled until Sunday this week--I had planned to go get my covid booster on Sunday, but the stomach bug messed that up, and I just don't have the energy to do it this week. It always makes me throw up, and I have done enough of that for the moment, so it's probably going to wait a little while. I really want to get it, but the previous iterations of it kicked my ass so hard, and I've seen so many people who never had a reaction having a rough time with it, so I'm honestly a little anxious about it. Last time, I threw up three times and had a 102 fever. I'm a little scared to find out what this one does to me.

Okay, time for me to get more coffee, and maybe consider pants. I was a total sloth yesterday and never changed out of my night clothes. Everyone have a lovely Wednesday!
