Today was a pretty chaotic day. I didn’t really know what I was doing half the day, but it still wasn’t as bad as some days. Some days are just bad.
So let’s get to it, what happened today?
First I finished off Mom’s Database. Now I think it just has to be proofread, so we’ll take care of that tomorrow. The databasing has been nice because it gives me drive and a reason to work. It’s a structured project I know I can do. I can work and work until it’s finished. Structured projects. Maybe that’s the best way to look at things. As far as productivity is concerned, I still feel like there would be easier ways to have set that database up, but right now, I feel like that was the best way to do it. To start all over again and just get the ball rolling from there. Regardless I’ll show Mom a complete database tomorrow, and we’ll see where to go from there. It would probably help as well to know how the database will function in order to determine the best format and interface for it.
Ran an errand today. That went fine. Nothing crazy there. I suppose it could’ve been accomplished a little more quickly, though.
At the end of the day, I started on some of the inventory storage stuff. I need to know what Mom’s goal is. Is it to get rid of some books. Or is it to get rid of some stuff? Because looking at this wall, I feel like there are other things that could certainly go.
I took the last few minutes to read their files and also just re evaluate how the actual events are going. I’m excited to see how Remember the Titans goes for them in both buildings. I’m finding that there are lots of desires and old hobbies they’ve had that haven’t really been tapped into. Fern came in today and I know she enjoys crafting, so I want to see if there’s a way I can allow her to exercise that. I don’t want her to come in here and lose all desire for crafting because she’s lost her outlet for it. So, for her sake and for others’ sake, I want to see if I can tap into their other desires and make things… not more comfortable. But more… peaceful? More fulfilling? I don’t want them to die bored. I guess I just don’t think that’s really living for anyone. Maybe, though, I’m comparing their retired life, when they still had more motor skills to now when their motor skills are certainly falling. But is that a result of lack of outlet, or is a lack of outlet a result of loss of motor skills? Hmm.
