My hockey game did not go well. Although it did go a lot better than than our previous two games in that we not only scored first but enjoyed our first multiple goal lead and held that lead all the way into the third period. Unfortunately the other team in their desperation started playing crash the net hockey. I got pushed into the net once and had two other pucks take wild bounces off my gear and end up in the net. By the middle of the third period several bad penalties, lucky goals and bad goals all combined to make us so frustrated we couldn't concentrate on the game and lost our three goal lead to loose 8-6. Another weakness for our new team has been discovered and can be worked on so we just have to chalk up this game to a learning experiance and move on. I also discovered another weakness that I know I need to work on so any time you learn something you can't walk away mad.
The pool has been closed for over a week now and we couldn't be more frustrated. Naturally as soon as they drained it out we got our first real heat wave of the summer with temps over 95F on up to nearly 100F. We pretty much just hid out in our apartment with the A/C on all week wondering when the pool is going to be fixed. There's still a lot of work to do so unfortunately it's going to be a while.
My dad is doing SO much better. We finally got all the prescriptions that he really needs. He's taking four pills a day plus spiriva and has albuterol solution for when he needs it and it's working! His back doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as it used to, he's sleeping through the night, he's eating three meals a day, he's off the sauce and has home oxygen. He's been taking short walks back and forth through the apartment because the heat has been too much for him to be outside for too long. The swelling in his legs has virtually gone away. On the opposite end he has been being visited by a home care nurse, an ocupational therapist and a physical therapist several times who have determined that he is home bound. He can't work or even go out to the mall to hang out with us. He'll most likely be put on disability finally and someone will have to stay home with him as a caregiver. The good news on that front is that I can be paid to be my father's caregiver so I'm going to sign up for that. I haven't been able to get any other kind of job so I may as well. This way I can get my schooling done and make sure dad is really going to be taken care of. I'll have to turn that gig over eventually but for now getting income and taking care of my family takes precidence.
One of my friends asked me yesterday about being an SG. I'm not sure I'm the best one to give advice but she doesn't have a membership so she can't really ask anyone here. At least not right now. She's gone back and forth about it more than once but only because she doesn't really know anyone who can take the pics of her. Except her father but that would be... just... ew.
Thursday we try to pick up the Civic again. I'm not looking forward to it.
My PC Steering wheel crapped the bed on me completely. I threw away the reciept like an idiot so I'm screwed.
