Not too bad here. Older Daughter has had some health hiccups/hospital presentations since her surgery. Problem of it being impossible to know if they're genuine or "unconsciously manufactured". She rang us last night with a list of symptoms and online advice to get medical attention... only attention available at that time of night is hospital emergency, if she went in there, they would have done a COVID test, which would mean she couldn't get a taxi and therefore would have no way to get home, and they don't want people sitting around the waiting room if they're "possible positives".... so we advised her to see how she went and maybe hold off until morning. Haven't heard yet what happened, I presume she didn't go in, Hubby is currently transporting her to a pre-arranged swab test, needed before her new carer can attend her home... so I guess I'll find out when he gets home.
Am a bit concerned that the carer who has been assigned to her is very young. Not yet 20. That means very "early career". This mostly concerns me because our beloved daughter can be very challenging and confronting. I hope the lady in question has very good senior back-up, and that she doesn't get scared away from being a carer. SH/SAs are fairly inherrently confronting. (The run of "good weeks" is still continuing in that regard, so the longer that remains the case, the better.)
Day One of the second round of learning at home for Younger Daughter. Am hoping that she's starting from a better base level state of mind this time and will get enough of the work completed. Last time almost nothing happened schoolwork-wise, but the time out really did help her into a better position emotionally. So I sort of don't regret it...but it means it might be a struggle getting her passed into Yr. 11.
Ummm... well stocked food-wise for staying at home, due to an ongoing several weeks' worth pantry. Which is what I've done for years anyway. ("Farmers' Pantry". 😛 ) Hoping to do a trip tomorrow to get animal food and cement for Younger Daughter's "teenage cubby" project- and bonus, she took my suggestion of asking her design/woodwork teacher if that could count as an assessment task, and he said yes.
So as long as she documents what she's doing, some of her at home work will be doing something she really wants to do.
Mum and Dad's aged care home is still safe and sound, in a "low case count" region but nevertheless, they've run ahead of the official recommendations and closed to visitors as soon as things started escalating elsewhere.
I'm a bit up and down myself, but trying to ward off the "downs" by getting out into the garden, even if I'm not quite in the mood... because eventually, it works. As well as achieving something out there, it's me-time, when I can think, pray, whatever.
