Some days, I wonder if we attract other people's incompetence, or if that's just the luck of the draw. My sister took off, so that she could go watch Dad's therapy and see where he is and all of that. He's doing pretty well, can get up with the sit/stand frame, and stay that way for over 10 minutes. It's much better than we expected going into this, so we'll take it. However on the way back to the room, the social worker came up, and said, "oh good, I needed to call you, but time just slipped away from me. Because he had a little fever on Tuesday, we've decided that it would be in his best interests to keep him a few extra days, just to make sure he's not coming down with anything, so we're releasing him on Wednesday instead of tomorrow." My sister kind of gaped like a fish, but his physical therapist was not, and lit into her for not letting us know sooner, because we need to figure out transport, and people will need to get off work! So, yeah.

Fortunately, the people we use for transport are amazing, and will pick him up at 4pm. With that, he should get home right as I get off work, so I'll be available to help. It was fairly easily solved, but who does that? With less than 22 hours to go? Yeeesh.

Aside from that, yesterday was okay. Work was fine, I'm still mostly shadowing. My actual classes don't start til Tuesday. I've learned a lot so far, but it feels like there's a lot yet to learn. I enrolled Jess and I in health insurance, which will be effective on March 1st. Hopefully we'll have the cards by then, but if not, I know our pharmacy can look it up. In just five days I can get my Rybelsus!!

I got the official notification that our joint account with the Johns Hopkins Federal Credit Union is active. I think the fact that this excited me means that I'm old. In 20 years, Jess and I have never had a joint account, if you can believe it. So this is going to be awesome. No trading the debit card back and forth when someone needs to pick something up. I'm hoping in September, when I've had my car for a year, and made payments on time, I can refinance through them at a lower rate. That would be lovely.

My new desk chair came in too late to have for work or game, so that's on the agenda for today. We had game last night, which was a lot of fun. I really like the modules by the Greasy Snitches. They're usually well paced and have challenging battles, but leave room for fun RP.

Today, I now have nothing to do. We decided that we're going to go to lunch at the hot pot place, which should be tasty. And I need to assemble my new chair. Aside from that, not a whole lot going on, since we'd specifically tried to keep the day clear, since Dad was coming home. I'm sure we'll find a few more things to get into, though.

Okay, I am going to go grab some more coffee, and consider waking the rest of the way up. Everyone have an excellent Saturday!
