mdlbearI'd been hoping Colleen would be coming home Friday. That didn't happen; maybe next Friday. Unless another infection turns up. Fingers (and other relevant appendages) crossed. Had a useful meeting with her doctor Wednesday. Car transfer practice on Thursday; that still worries me, because a single transfer pair (in/out) seems to tire her a lot; to go to an appointment she'll have to do two. She _will_ get some rest in between, but given what happened Sunday of RainbowCon that may not be enough.
I got some time down at Rest Stop last weekend, and some daughter time with E yesterday. So that was good. At N's suggestion I've been borrowing m's weighted blanket -- it does seem to help me sleep, and maybe get to sleep faster. So I ought to get one of those.
In addition to some good conversation, E helped with some of the long-delayed lifting tasks, mostly moving boxes around, re-arranging the metal shed, and taking the generator (which I'd bought earlier that morning off of Drew's List -- h/t to L for spotting it) out of Molly's cargo compartment.
All in all not a bad week, but not all that great. I'll take what I can get.
