You take the good, you take the bad and there you have Beat Saber

So I treated myself to lots of things this Christmas but the one I could share was Beat Saber on Oculus Quest.  I played a little bit the day I got it but prepping for a new semester and all that jazz got in the way of playing with it more.  I fired it up today to make sure everything was working correctly still and jumped into a Beat Saber game.  About 20 minutes later I asked mom if she wanted to join in.  What ensued was 90 minutes of us laughing as she learned how to work a VR headset and we jammed out to the Imagine Dragons expansion pack.

Sliding Into the Home Stretch

This year has been a hot mess.  COVID19 has not gone away and in fact is on the upswing again.  Campus did make it to our predetermined face to face stop point which was amazing.  We did not have a massive outbreak throughout the system really.  We did have people get sick but to my knowledge we haven't lost anyone on campus due to COVID.  I am counting down my days till my quarantine ends.  Thankfully it started as we were already planning to be home so next week when classes start again I'll be in the clear.  Navigating this with the nice lady who lives here has been tricky as I thought it would be.  Mostly because I still have to interact with her a bit to make sure she's eating, has the groceries she needs and gets her insulin once a day.  Insulin you may be asking.  Well yes because in addition to my close contact, we are almost four weeks out from mom's last hospital stay.  She's fine and I am not sure she'll need the insulin ...

When You're Just Tired

I love my mother, really I do.  If I didn't she'd be homeless cause she sucks as a roommate.  Not in the ways that would make someone suck traditionally though.  She washes the dishes most days--but typically while you may still be eating because you just got home from work or running errands for her so now it looks like you're a jerk because she wants to finish the dishes before you have started savoring your meal.  She cooks but nothing you asked for, want or desire to eat at any point in your life.  She vacuums excessively but cannot for the life of her remember how to open the canister on the vacuum cleaner to empty the accumulated mess.  And even though we have a senior bus system that can take her where she wants to go whenever she basically refuses to use it because it doesn't cater to her whims in the same way you do. This week 4/5 work days had me out until at least 8 PM even though one of them was technically a holiday but we went to see a speak...

Pre Holiday Quickie

Run errands yesterday, grabbing things for the holidays so I can relax this week unless upon point of death I need something to complete dinner.  Get home after hitting multiple stores because we make fried turkey breasts around this place and store one was out, store two had them completely defrosted which would be great on Wednesday but seems super creepy on Saturday plus they were in a container that was smelling kinda funky, and store three had old friends and a recent fellow murderer (long story you'd have to be there).  Unpacking the goodies and as I have gotten semi settled I'm asked where is her milk.  Her very specific skim milk that is the only milk she will ingest no matter how much more milk is in the house.  Well, that wasn't on the nifty shopping list even though for some reason a curtain rod was.  She tells me that she asked Alexa to add it to the shopping list but Alexa said it was already on there.  Downfall of AI I tell you.  Ice milk...
