I gotta say, when my alarm went off, I didn't really want to get up. I just lay there for a few minutes before I finally heaved my ass out of bed.
Yesterday ended up being not as bad as I worried. I had class during the day, which went pretty well. In the morning, I did a typing test, which ended up being respectable. 53 words, no errors, which I was pretty happy with. Then, we had more learning until we finished, and then we played Kahoot. (I fucking hate Kahoot.) It's one of those BS "motivational" quiz games. Our quiz was (shock) on the stuff we'd spent the last two days learning.
I may hold Kahoot with contempt, but on the other hand, I'm super competitive. You get more points the faster you answer. I missed two out of thirty questions, but I answered 28 correctly and quickly enough that I absolutely smoked the rest of the class. I ended up with 14,000 points, and the closest one had 11,000. It was gratifying. After we finished Kahoot, it was time for the actual test, which I passed with 100%, so I ended the day feeling pretty good about myself.
While I was finishing up work, I got the text from my sister that they were loading dad into the wheelchair transport, and then they were going to be heading home. My plan worked out perfectly, as I finished work at 4:30pm, and the truck pulled into the driveway at 4:45pm.
Getting him in was a bit of a chore. The ramp needs to be replaced horribly, so I had to help guide the chair over some of the bumps. It's sound and safe, but the planks at the bottom have sunk, so it's very bumpy. The whole ramp has sunk a touch at the top, so it's got a little lip to get onto the porch. And then, we have a little ramp up the step to the door, but the door itself has about a two and a half inch lip. What this meant was that I'd bend over, grab the front of the chair and lift a little, pulling it forward. Yeah, not the best thing ever for my back, but on the other hand, we needed to get him in. As a result, I am super sore this morning.
He had been sitting in the too-small travel chair for a while, so he opted to get in bed pretty quickly. He did really well. We used the sit/stand frame, and it went pretty seamlessly, so I was pleased.
He's decided that he wants to get up at lunchtime and have lunch and dinner in the living room, so we'll see how that goes.
I ended up cancelling the game last night, mostly because I was 100% frazzled after getting him home, but we're definitely playing tonight. We've got fuckboi vampires to stop!
We've got a quiet day for the most part, trying to figure out the new normal. Tomorrow, the nurse arrives to start the endless round of PT and OT. Not looking forward to it.
Aside from all that, not a whole lot going on.
For the last day of February, I had to come up with something special. So... Something that I like:
You! I'm not horribly active any fandom at the moment, but I really do treasure the people it's brought to me. I guess I'm fannish about fandom now? Anyway, thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with me, and letting me do the same.
Everyone have a stupendous Thursday!
