It's been rough lately, but a few recent minor achievements:
- Despite all the challenges, anxiety, and lack of sleep, I managed to complete administering IV antibiotics to my dad via a PICC line. It was every eight hours (and making sure to remove a bag from the fridge two hours prior to each dose) for 10 days. My only previous medical experience was a terrible semester of pre-med in the mid 1980s. And having a PICC line myself for five months, but nurses handled that.
- I think my car repairs are complete, and I have the rebuilt title inspection Friday. Sadly I hit a deer last October, the body shop decided the whole front needed painted, upping the estimate to total loss category. So I've been fixing it myself, with no real experience in that, either. I think I managed. Repairs were put on hold when my dad became ill.
- I'm recovering as that and other stuff had me rather exhausted for a bit.
- Even gave myself a haircut as the storm rolled in last night.
- I've been shopping for another car while fixing my old one. It's not been a great time, and I happened to think the next vehicle I buy will likely be my last, barring another accident.
Happy 2024, all!
