I am the left brain, I am the left brain, work really hard to my inevitable death brain
It's Friday and I've been awake since 4:30! I finally got out of bed around 6, because I was getting antsy. Now I'm up and continue to be a bit restless/anxious. I know it's because we're supposed to go observe Dad's therapy. I'm still so angry with him that I really don't want anything to do with him. And I know that he's not going to be where we need him to be, so it's going to freak me out. And my visit on Wednesday did not help my anger, with him being an asshole to his aid.
I won't, but it's to the point that I really just want to run away and not deal with it. I feel like my sister is being Pollyanna Sunshine and being unwilling to grasp onto how bad this situation is going to be. Then again, she's at work all day, so maybe it won't be that bad for her. It'll be Jess who takes the brunt, with me second. We're going to be the ones who have to deal with his physical condition and who will be trying to handle his moods.
His physical therapist still thinks he seems occasionally "confused," which I assume means she thinks he has early dementia. I kind of agree, and I don't think it's a particularly new thing. He's been a real asshole for the last couple of years, and I think that's part of it. Again, getting my sister to see this is useless. She won't agree that there's anything wrong until he forgets her name.
Once I get through the session, we have a lovely weekend. We have a game this evening that I'm very excited and nervous about. It's an entirely homebrewed Call of Cthulhu game. We've only played one game of CoC, and I don't normally homebrew quite that quickly, but we're gonna give it a try.
Tomorrow, we have absolutely nothing planned, and I'm going to enjoy a day of rest, and take it easy. Then, Sunday, it's back to work, and then another game, this one D&D.
Work yesterday was work. I was an ask-bot for my coworkers as usual. My manager had me trying to explain the delivery updates to a coworker. She's a generally sweet older lady who really wants to learn, but I don't know that she has the capacity to understand what we do. I showed her, and was late getting out of work because of it.
A new place Crumbl Cookies has opened near work, and after a long and annoying day, I decided that I deserved something sweet. The cookies are HUGE and really tasty. I'm a special fan of the Maple Oatmeal cookies. Very tasty! We cut them into 4ths, and I had two slices for breakfast.
Okay, now I'm going to get myself together to deal with the bullshit of the day. Have a good Friday everyone!
