But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today

It's Wednesday, and I need to do some more prep on my game for tomorrow. I did more yesterday, but today I've gotta make some characters, and figure out the side quests. I've got three so far, and I only am expecting the game to go five or so sessions, so I only need a few more, but I need to get on that. Overarching plot is great, but encounters need to be planned too.

Aside from that, not a whole lot planned today. We have the second half of a game we started before Christmas but couldn't quite finish, so that'll be fun. I woke up with a bit of a headache, so hopefully the ibuprofen will clear that out so I can do some work.

Yesterday ended up being more eventful than expected, but that's okay. We have a wooden ramp for the wheelchair, and then a little freestanding metal ramp to get into the sliding glass door. It's basically just a slab of metal with a lip on it. And being that nothing holds it in place but it's weight, it does move around a bit. Normally, I watch that, and push it back up if it slides around, but I must have missed it yesterday, and it slipped and fell off the step while Jess was on it.

It only dropped about 3", but that was enough for them to loose their balance and fall. They went straight down the (concrete) porch steps, about three and a half feet down. I was thirty feet away on the couch and watched them drop, list sideways and just disappear from view. Scared a year off my life. They're okay, just some nasty looking scrapes, but I feel like they're going to be a hurting puppy today.

I also went to see Dad, who was in therapy. He stood for me, which was very nice, though he seems to think that that's as far as he needs to get, which is concerning. I'd like to see him get a little bit better, but I'm not sure he's going to, so that kind of sucks. I stayed with him for therapy, we sat in the lobby for awhile while they cleaned his room, and then I sat in his room for a while, but he was asleep for everything but therapy and the last 5 minutes. So when I left, he seemed a little miffed, like I hadn't been there that long. In reality I was there the normal amount of time, but way to make me feel like crap.

After that, it was home to make dinner and to settle in for a con meeting that never happened. It was due to be a discord primer, but the trainer was unable to make it, so no go.

Today I'm just tired and a little achy, so I'm going to mostly try to veg and plot today, probably squeeze a few Alaska videos in there too.

Okay, time for me to make some more coffee and wake myself up. Everyone have a terrific Wednesday!
