    - Shower :(
    - Bed by 11:00 :smiley:

    Had a blast face painting last evening. I lost track of how many faces I did, but the flow was constant from just before 6:00 to nearly 8:00. My face paint wasn't as good as the kiddos, but I did a few little things on my face. Most popular of the evening were Spiderman & Unicorns.

    Then I went to trivia where one of my team mates was trashed. Tried to get him to let me drive him home. Even offered to drive his car. He lives a half mile from me and Tim and I both had cars. He wouldn't give over the keys, but he agreed (well sort of) to let me follow him home. I think he tried to drop me, but I managed to stick with him. When he was speeding on 50 I let him go, and just picked him back up at the exit. He ran 4 stop lights. Not a good choice to drive, but he made it home.

    Started the day with a 3 hour safety training session. I totally struggled to stay awake for that one. Not sure why. I went to bed by 10:00, and still couldn't drag my bum out of bed this morning. Not much really planned for this evening. Have to get started cleaning out the garage tonight. Maybe go for a bike ride because it is very nice out.

I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Finished my project. Having to re-evaluate the plans for this unit because students are having more difficulty with it than I'd anticipated.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    I have spent 4 hours researching Medicare advantage plans this morning. Finally got mom some great benefits! It doesn't start until January, but we finally got it done. Rainy day today, not sure what I'll do after work.

Talk to PCP about feet (cannot do calf raises, pushups, planks, mountain climbers, etc.) Also back and shoulder pain. Why can’t I sleep better? Therapy Mon Nov 20 3P. Dentist Nov 9 3p. Biometric RS. Primary care checkup. Massage Nov 4 6P. Need to RS colonoscopy. PCP virtual appointment Nov 22 2:15p.

    13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Finished my project. Having to re-evaluate the plans for this unit because students are having more difficulty with it than I'd anticipated.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.
