I am a stone, unaffected, rain hell down onto me flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be
It's D-day for Dad's return, and I am anxious. I woke this morning, and after a couple of moments, it hit me, and the dread returned. Hopefully, it'll go well, but we shall see. Either way, it's going to be stressful. I have no doubt that we'll find the new normal, and be fine, but it still seems daunting. Mostly, I'm just hoping that I've got the timing correct, and he'll be arriving after I'm done work, so I can help get him in. I think traffic will slow them down enough that I'll have finished, but you never know.
My current goal for the day is to try my damndest to focus on my insurance training instead of on Dad's imminent return.
Yesterday's class wasn't bad. Of course, we had an icebreaker that took way too long, which is always painful. It was two truths and a dream (because that's more positive than a lie, apparently.) We also, of course, had breakout rooms to group source the answer to problem sheets, as well as to get to know each other a bit. My first breakout room was kind of bleh. We did the problem, and there was a little chat, but not much. Mostly we sat in silence. The second one was a bit better, thankfully. I did learn a bit about insurance, so that's good.
Today, I have a check in meeting with the Quality team, and then another 7 hours of insurance training. Actually, that's my schedule for the next five days, come to think of it. Then, on Wednesday, I start training on the Epic software.
One nice thing, at 5pm, my paystub landed in our Employee Self Service portal. I won't get the check until today at the earliest, but it was nice to see. It was a good check for one week, though of course, next pay they'll start taking insurance out, so it won't be nearly as pretty. I should be making about the same as I did at 911, give or take, so that's good.
Either Jess or I need to get to the bank to get some more cash out for the tip for the nice accessible transport operator. When we switched from a weekend to rush hour on a weekday, the price went up a bit. Still, $100 is very reasonable for transport, especially since to do it on a stretcher would be over $500.
Getting down to the end of the month, so I've gotta come up with a couple of good ones for today and tomorrow.
Things I like: Drugs. Or more to the point, modern medicine. I have enough problems that it's not an overreaction to say that without them, I'd be long dead. From the adrenaline when my throat closed due to an allergy to Ceclor, down to the meds that control my asthma, and the ambien that helps me sleep, I love my meds. They keep me functioning. In a few days, I have an appointment with my psych, and we're going to talk about ADHD meds. The Strattera did nothing, so it's time to look at other options. And I'm sure I'll love that drug, too.
Okay, time to get some more coffee and get my ass in gear. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
