the_rckIt’s very frustrating. About 2:00 every afternoon, I’m getting really, really tired and wanting desperately to lie down and nap. While Cordelia’s at home this week, I cant do that because she’s taken over our bedroom in order to get the privacy she can’t get anywhere else in the house (her bedroom is out because she can’t really do anything in there without help). Next week, she’ll be back at school, but 2:00 is too late in the day for me to nap when I need to be out the door to go pick Cordelia up by 3:00.
I’m not convinced that caffeine is the answer. Admittedly, the last few days, things have been skewed by my only daring to eat crackers and pasta and similar things. Those don’t tend to help me stay awake at all.
I just checked the timing of the upcoming field trips for Cordelia’s class, and one of them conflicts with PT, so she’ll have to miss the field trip. That one, fortunately, isn’t the one being used as the springboard for a huge graded project. The one she’ll miss is a trip to the local food bank. I would like her to be able to, and I’m going to see if I can talk the school into letting her go with the other advisory group which will go on a different day.
Of course, the other field trip is problematic, too, because I don’t know how much walking will be required to get there. They’ll be taking the city bus, and I don’t know how close the bus stop is to their destination. Cordelia would be okay with a block or two, probably, but beyond that, things start getting a lot murkier. She might be fine; she might not. I just don’t want her getting stuck in the middle of street somewhere without the wherewithal to get home. Also, that field trip is the day before her first PT appointment, so I can’t ask the therapist about it. This particular field trip is important because it’s an expedition to interview some people in a retirement home with the intention of writing biographies of them. I have no idea how to get that part of things for Cordelia if she can’t go. Maybe she and I go by cab and meet her class there?
Bearing in mind that I’ve discovered that Google maps is terribly, terribly unreliable when it comes to bus route planning, I think, based on that ride planner, that she can probably manage the walking involved. Well, assuming they take the #1 to the #16 which seems to stop very close to their destination (Google says two minutes walk from the stop to the destination). Any other route suggested by Google maps would involve more walking than she can do.
