Eventful

Today, I spent a lot of the day chatting on Reddit. Then, Joel sent me a message that he had fallen and hurt his arm. He was dizzy and asked me to meet him to walk him home. When I got there, though, he thought that maybe he had broken his arm. In Portugal (and I think other places), it is better to take a taxi to the hospital, so that's what we did. We went the emergency entrance, took a ticket, and waited. Joel felt around on his shoulder and thought that maybe he had dislocated it, since it didn't feel right. A few steps and an hour at the hospital later, it was confirmed that he had dislocated it. An hour after that, the shoulder was back in place, and they were taking more x-rays. An hour after that, we were getting an appointment for his check-up in a couple of weeks. He can't use the arm at all for three weeks. While this is inconvenient, it isn't like he is going to lose a job over this. Besides all Joel's suffering, it wasn't too bad (we haven't gotten the bill yet, though). While I don't love waiting, this isn't the old days where you just had to stare at the wall for six hours. I had my phone, so I was okay. The worst part for me was that I didn't start eating lunch until 8:45pm (sometimes I don't start until 5pm, though, so it isn't a national emergency). That meant that dinner was even later. I'm done with everything now, though, and can sleep.

House and Decompressing

This morning, we talked to our buyer's agent. We will be moving ahead with buying the house. We still haven't gotten the estimate on the cost of repairs, but it turns out that is because we need to go with the contractor back to the house so that he can look at it. I'm fine with that. So, yeah, moving forward on that.

The rest of the day was pretty chill. Joel is a bit more tired than usual, also sore and stiff. These things all make sense. I'm starting to calm down about the house. At the moment, I'm planning on doing the absolute minimum for a while there. We'll get the soil tested to make sure it is safe to grow food there, but I may wait a while until I do anything, so that I don't overwhelm myself right away. Of course, I can always take on more if I feel up to it.
