It's the Fourth of July. I have the day off from the office job, but still have 'double duty' postal route tomorrow so I don't know if we are going to try to go do anything late night tonight. We're still waiting for the HVAC company to get the equipment and come install it, probably next week. I've written a little bit on a few books but I've taken up teaching E some work skills like inventory management, spreadsheets and table formatting. She is going to help me set up a printer today. I told her we also need to work on some phone skills, and of course, preparing more for her driving test. We need to focus on getting her a car to drive - but the HVAC was unexpected and we've had to do that first. Next week we go and make sure she has all the classes she needs to graduate this year, as there have been some changeups required.
I've wondered what other online courses I could get her to take that might be of use for her, certificates etc. I took that financial literacy course with her late last year, but haven't been chomping at the bit to take any more on that site, either. But she is appreciating learning more about computer skills that I actually use daily at work, and her school experience has pretty much thrown her out into word processors and spreadsheets and said 'go do something with it' without giving her anything useful to do with it or any instruction. It's a far cry from when we had entire classes in typing and ten-key (which she had never heard that term before), computer programming and word processing.
I've been studying French and Welsh - both of those are advanced level stuff so it's not as easy as just playing around in low level Japanese or Czech, but still not as annoying as trying to keep Spanish separate in my head, and started a different world in the Minetest to see how I adapt to building now with knowing how everything works and how to survive in each environment. And that isn't getting any more books released. I've just put a lot on my plate right now and some of it - like E's extra computer lessons - are things I probably should have been doing for a good while.
