Nov. 23rd, 2008 04:54 pmThis weekend has had a heavy focus on studying. I've gone through four chapters in two courses, and completed a quiz. I got 90% in the MC part of the one quiz, and will have to wait for the rest of the response. So now, I get a break to type up a journal entry. How nice.
The housemates, my wife and I did our grocery trip today. It was wonderful. There was no pressure from any of them to add stuff to the cart that was specific for their own lunches. I mean, we got bologna for the entire household, but if I want a pudding in my lunch, I have to buy it myself. When Shelly lived with us, she insisted that the household budget include snack food for her kids, lunch foods for them and her, and insisted that I should buy my own food to bring to work. It was nice to not have to fight with people regarding appropriate choices for the household. I do not miss living with her and the boys one bit.
Tonight after supper, I think we'll do a tidy-up of the house. Sheila, in exchange for me cooking her supper last night is going to help Josie with the litter boxes that Riley and Micah use. This is because they need to be dumped, and I still can't lift something that heavy without lots of pain. I know my kinesiologist has explained to me hurt vs. harm, but if I want to be at all productive this evening, school or housecleaning wise, I need to make sure I don't hurt. If I hurt, I'll take meds, and the meds make me kinda weird. I guess cyclobenzaprine does that. Muscle relaxants are awesome.
Tomorrow I have physio in the morning (boo!) and we're going to have a discussion about back-to-work stuff. My boss won't let the kinesiologist come to the hospice because of confidentiality stuff. So we'll go over my duties, and make sure that I can do all of them before I go back to work. And that is something I'm excited for. I miss the nurses, the patients, the ways that I can help them. It's nice to have a job I love, and I'm incredibly thankful that I got out of the hospital work when I did.
After physio, I'll study, and then do supper. Then, we're gaming. We missed playing last week because the DM's lady had a meeting for her business, but we get to play this week, so I'm happy.
