Sep. 10th, 2021 08:50 pmAlex has a show he's riding in tomorrow that requires him to be at the facility by 6:30...
So I'm spending the night at my mom's, since I'll have to uber to work in the morning, and her place is slightly closer.
Raven seems glad for the company, if a bit confused why it's still just me, lol.
Hopefully his show goes well - he did a lesson today, and had one of his comes-and-goes health things come up. It's related to one of the nerves in his neck that gets pinched by the herniated disk, but when it acts up, he basically can't breathe, because it functionally paralyzes some of the required muscles. It only ever seems to happen while riding, and it actually mimics the symptoms of heat exhaustion really well. It's worse in the heat, and worse if he hasn't eaten or gets dehydrated... but it isn't actually a blood sugar issue, and the heat alone isn't the culprit. Sometimes he has no issues, other times it resolves pretty quickly, sometimes it lasts a long while, and is really hard to recover from. Today was the latter.
So basically, hoping the show goes better than the practice today did, ugh.
-
This weekend is going to probably be a rough one at work - we have two big class things this weekend, which sucks. I hate when it gets scheduled that way.
-
No word from management today on whether they "found" our recert paperwork. Alex wasn't back until the afternoon, and then still felt pretty sick from the earlier bout of nerve-related ick, and they didn't reach out with an "update." So that's probably a Monday problem.

Spending a night alone is weird, lol. Not bad, just weird in its novelty, lol.
