Last week was a big week. Jana was briefly incapacitated last weekend, which was very scary. I managed to get her back on her feet, but I am in no shape for dead lifting another human. Fortunately, I was able to lever her back up using physics and a chair and my friend Sheila went and got a walker from the store and drove it over. The next day, Monday (our 28th anniversary, as a matter of fact), a power team of my friends Jody, Rebecca, Matt and Larry turned up at the memory care place and helped me assemble the furniture (they actually did most of it). We got her room set up by the end of the day and I took her over on Wednesday. She was not...thrilled, but was mostly cooperative with staff and went to lunch and handed out her tiny books. Then she came back to the room and demanded to be taken home. When that failed, she looked at the bed and recognized her blankets and asked if she could sleep there. By the time I finished paperwork, she was out cold.
Thursday, her PCA checked on her and said she was restless but distractible and went to bed early after doing an art project and eating. I intended to go back today, but had some things to do that took longer than I planned, so I'm going back tomorrow with some more of her things. I expect it to be a struggle.
In the meantime, the CADI and Medical Assistance finally went through. Now I have to get through a bridging fund that will cover the difference between the CADI and what she gets for Social Security, but we're getting closer! Otherwise, I'm adapting and the cats are adapting, though we're all finding it weird. and, of course day job was doing a not very good Agile training all week, just to make things a bit more stressful. But I'm starting to clean and today, I switched out a lot of the art and took some things down and flagged other to give away. Gradually making the space my own.
Life will be fun when I get back from Capricon - the car needs new tires and the dryer is beginning to conk out, but in the meantime, Queen of Swords Press title Little Nothing by Dee Holloway made the BSFA Long List! Please consider voting for it, if you're a member. It is a really good novella and we've been plagued with the Death of Twitter, constant mayhem, people dropping the ball on reviews and sundry other things so it definitely needs help finding its people. And on that note, to bed!
