It was my mother's birthday a couple days ago and today is mother's day. I found out I was scheduled to facilitate two days of Safe Management training, the first falling on the twelfth, so I had to miss it even though it was on what would usually be my day off. I thought I'd scheduled to have that day free but apparently not. And then I was working direct support today. I work too much nowadays.
Safe Management was fine. Small group. Started with eight students. Two of them didn't know they were scheduled to join us (I was almost in the same boat), so they didn't attend. Then due to further scheduling complications, two more were not able to attend the second day. They will be attending the second day of training with us in June, which I will also be facilitating for. But day two wound up with only four students of our original eight. June might be heavy if we have the entire Summer Program, on top of the regularly scheduled individuals, on top of these four who couldn't sit in today.
I did both days, while we had one other person co-facilitating with me the first day, and a different person on the second. This is the first time I've done it on a two-person team, as last time it was all three of us, which gave me more content to cover. It went alright.
My laptop charger broke again. Do you remember that I have a weird laptop that requires a charger you can't just get from a universal charge set, or buy at any local store? About half a year ago, the tip that inserts into the laptop stopped working, and I had to special order a new one. Well, now this one exploded. I plugged it in one day, heard a pop, saw a flurry of electricity, looked at the cable and saw it was severed in one spot, exposing a lot of fried wiring.
Everything turned out okay, though, because the cable is made of two connecting pieces, and the piece that had just exploded was different from the one that had stopped working. Luckily, I'd kept my previous, non-working charger, connected the still-working pieces and so I still have a functioning laptop charger. Based on how long it took mine and my brother's charger, and his replacement charger (we had the same brand of laptop at one time) to stop working, I'm betting I've got another half-year of use in this charger before the tip stops working again.
My laptop is able to hold about an hour of charge before it dies, so it really becomes almost immediately obsolete without access to charge.
One of my neighbour's units went up in flames in a grease fire. Just a cooking accident, everyone was fine. It sounds bad, but it was almost a relief for me, since I've long wondered what would happen in the case of a fire, since all the units are connected. They lived in a lower unit, and only that one was affected, despite being burned through.
