We survived Monday, y'all! Today is my last day of supervised work, and only because I asked for it. Once I start my own schedule, I'll be 9:30am-6pm and I have a doctor's appt at 6:30 tonight, so I needed the extra half hour for travel. But Wednesday, I'm on my own.
Work has been good. I need to tighten up on a few things, like getting the call back # right away, or using the pt's name 3 times and doing the Covid pre screen for pt's scheduled within 10 days. But I suppose that will come. Aside from that I think I'm doing okay. I'm going to have to do an extra step for the first few days, documenting the calls that I do, so they can be checked every morning. It'll take a little longer, so I won't be hitting 55 calls a day, but they only expect 30, so that's okay.
Dad had a complete meltdown last night. He wanted a bath, but then spent the entire bath screaming that he was cold. I mean, full on yelling. "Oh Jesus help me, Someone help me," the whole nine yards. He had a 100.2 temp, so I understand the cold, but he has no cope whatsoever. His doctor is coming today at 1:30, so we're going to let it ride and see what he has to say. His stats are okay, so it's hard to justify the land of the grippy socks for what may be a little virus.
I'm so tired of this. Out of the last three days I get him up on lunch break, he's wanted to go back during my break twice. Which means that he sits for 15 min, and I have a 10 minute break. The rest is consumed with getting him up (10-15min) and putting him back (10-12 minutes.) I only have a 40 minute lunch. So I get a very short break to actually sit and relax. I'm starting to resent the hell out of it. And resenting him, which I don't want, but I can't seem to help.
Tonight I have my doctor's appointment. I'm honestly not sure why I'm going. No matter the diagnosis, I can't appreciably doanything about it aside from accupuncture and PT. I suppose PT won't take me without a diagnosis. But I can't do less than I'm already doing to rest it. It's just going to be.
Sorry, I'm a little down this morning. It's been a long couple of days. I'll get over it. It's just been kind of stressful.
But tomorrow, we have a game, and that'll be fun. And then Saturday I have a work party, which will hopefully be fun. And then on Sunday, more game! And maybe on Friday, Jess and I will go to the movies, which I would enjoy. We're debating between the Mummy re-release vs The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I do love Henry Cavil's inability to keep his tongue in his mouth during the trailer. And Jess has their tattoo consult! This one will be a raven feather in honor of their Strahd character, Tali, who is a cleric of the Raven Queen.
Okay, time for me to hop off and get myself ready for the day. Everyone have an amazing Tuesday!

I know he's got serious issues and needs help, but short of being out of his mind, there's no reason for anyone to behave that way. and if I've somehow missed that he's actually out of his mind, I apologize for misreading the situation, and being crude.
it sounds like there are good things ahead - here's hoping the weekend comes quickly!
