Jan. 3rd, 2021 04:10 pm2021 is not getting off to a great start.
My aide S, who's been doing 90% of the shifts because all the students are gone (and even with the students was doing half the shifts) .. got hit by a car last night while walking her dog, & is now in the hospital with broken foot and ankle. And has to deal with police shit because it was a hit and run.
Luckily my roommate is here and able to cover, but.
I keep going from 'okay' to random crying. Can't tell how much is for S and how much is for me and how much is just Emotions Suck.
(Also sigh at my mom. She's physically unable to do the commode chair stuff, so she can't help me out in that way. In the group text with her and my sister I said I wouldn't be able to do the family video chat today, explained what was going on and that I was scrambling to get aide coverage, and literally said "there's nothing either of you can do to help aside from not asking a lot of questions, I'm just letting you know". So of course my mom insists that she could help with aide stuff... then texts me to ask if I'll need her help today... I know she wants to help but I don't need to deal with managing her as well...!)
