Discharge & Recovery Help Needed: the Prequil

[xela]

I ended up sleeping away most of the 24 hours after my home visit. Partly because it really was exhausting; partly because I seem to have come down with a cold or some sort of weird off-season hay-fever. I have, at any rate, not had a lot of energy today.

I don't anticipate anything coming up that would cause me to challenge the he plan to send me home on 24 Feb (Weds.). And I am sufficiently low on mental energy that I've decided to preserve cycles by a method that feels utterly foreign to me but nonetheless like the best plan under the circumstances: I have no contingency plan, nor will I be making one. Que sera sera.

This rest of this post is largely for my own reference — an attempt to list all the things I expect to need to ask someone to help me out with over the next few weeks, til I'm able to be independent again. I will make some effort not to be so terse as to be only comprehensible to myself — that is, to express these in such a way that it will be at least conceivable for someone to say "Hey, I can take care of that one for you." But for the most part, I expect this to be a list of topics about which I'll be writing individual posts in the near future, each on the theme Hey, would someone like to help me out with foo?

I would strongly recommend adding "tack down or restring ethernet cable" to the before or at discharge day list.

I have more ramblings that I will add in the morning.

Yeah, that ethernet cable's going away first thing. My initial No! I need that1 was, I've come to recognize, an attempt to rationalize what my macho hind-brain was telling me. And I try to never let it make actual decisions....

I'm happy to come re-hang the doors I removed, and to help with groceries (although you may want to check if Instacart delivers to you, since I've found it tremendously convenient when I had reasons I couldn't go myself)

[yakshaver.livejournal.com]

No rush on the doors. And your documentation was such that there will be no problem having someone else do it.

I'll look into instacart; I hadn't heard of them;
