My mom is out of the hospital now and back at home. She can walk a little now, but she's still getting dizzy. They're going to have a home health aide come for a few hours a day, and her physical therapist will visit the house to work with her.
I got my class schedule for fall. As of right now, I'll be teaching two classes online, and two on campus. I'd hoped to be able to stay fully remote for another semester, but the university is pushing for getting most classes on campus. I'd requested as many remote classes as possible, and this is what they were able to get me.

Jesse that’s awesome but sad nobody got TWOP!
My dog is tearing open my couch cushions. He’ll be fine, napping or looking out the window, and then I look open and he’s got a cushion on the floor in his mouth and he’s ripping it up. Ugh!! Granted it’s an old couch, but I don’t need it to look WORSE than it already does!
Hil, I'm glad to hear your mom is doing better. Continued health~ma.
It's good to hear your mother is home, Hil. I hope the PT helps her get quickly back to herself.
Ugh, meara. Skinner will tear up cushions if given the opportunity. Not so much now as he did when he was younger. The vet reminded me that a tired dog is a good dog. Fortunately he doesn't need quite as much activity as his did when he was a pup.
I'm glad your mom is doing better, Hil.
Annual physical today. Yay? Yeah, yay. I'm here to need one, so, yeah, good. I have to write a list so I remember all my questions/asks.
Man. So I'm here. The person I usually see isn't. So now I'm seeing some random doctor who doesn't know me. Argh. Why didn't they just call me to reschedule? So annoyed. I'm sure it will be fine, but I don't relish explaining shit ro a new person. Eh, whatever. I'll survive. Maybe I'll even like him or her. Maybe.
Argh, Jen, I hate that - didn't see my PCP last year and probably won't this year. It may well be they're thinking "A lot of people missed routine care in the last 12 months, just get them in with SOMEONE".
Yeah, it was fine. She was very nice, and I got everything I needed. They were SUPER busy, but she spent all the time I needed. People must be filling up appointment books now that they're vaccinated. I know I will be.
So, thank you for bearing with my needless dread!
Now it's pet store time. It's like they think they deserve food and litter or something. Whatever, cats. (Says the woman who just helped DP set up a kind of epic cat condo in the bedroom. And made an addition for more napping space. Ha!)
