Now through all this sorrow we'll be riding high And the truth of the matter is I never let you go

I am 100% tired this morning. Not sure why. I slept about as well as I've been sleeping. Just a tired day, I suppose. Time for more coffee!

I'm also a bit achy. Not sure if it's the new chair, or just general soreness. I guess we'll see. I didn't hurt as much yesterday when I got up at the end of the day, so I'm hoping it was just that I slept wrong. I suppose it could also be the weather, since it's supposed to be a rainy, blah day for the next couple of days. (Of course it's going to rain when we're bringing dad home. of course.)

Today, I start my classes, beginning with insurance classes. I've had some insurance experience at prior jobs, so we'll see how much new information I get. I'll have my pen and paper ready. I have to be on camera, so I'll be getting myself together for the 8am start time. I start out my day with a "Welcome new team members meeting at 8am. Whoo, I get to be perceived. Then, onto insurance. Insurance will last a week and a day, and then on Wednesday, I'll start training on Epic software. I spent most of my day yesterday doing the e-learning prerequisites for that. Six hours of people with perky voices telling me about the software. It was not my favorite thing in the world.

After today's classes, we have our last night of freedom before Dad arrives tomorrow evening.

As I was on Friday, I'm kind of dreading it. We'll have Thursday to readjust, and then Physical and Occupational Therapy will descend on Friday. I hate having people in the house, and I wasn't working on the phones the last time we had them, so we're going to have to see how this goes. I know Jess is very nervous about it. But I figure that since I'm going to be in classes, probably muted, it'll give us a few weeks to adjust.

I'm not sure what we're going to do with our last night of freedom. We have chorizo and hash browns to make chorizo casserole, but it kind of feels like we should get something good, and have it tomorrow night while Dad has his McDonalds. I don't know. We'll see.



As usual, forgot this yesterday, so you get two things!

Daydreams. Daydreams keep me sane. I go on Apartments.com and make plans for what we'll do when Dad passes, where we'll go. I asked Jess about it last night, and we've narrowed down plans to north, south or west. I liked Harford County, it's not the area's fault that 911 was a shitshow. And it's a bit closer to Philly and friends. I also like the idea of moving down towards DC to be closer to some of our friends. Or, there's west, with Ellicott City, Columbia, and even Frederick. We'd like to stay in MD in the current political climate, since we're a sanctuary city and even if gay marriage falls in the supreme court, it was ratified by popular vote in MD two years before it was federally legal.

Our weighted blankie. At first, I hated it. Too heavy, felt like I was being held down. And once in a while I still have to toss it off, but for the most part, I love it. It really is good for anxiety.

Okay, time for more coffee! Everyone have a most excellent Tuesday!
