Hi friends, how are people doing today?
I got a lot of my paperwork done yesterday, so I'm feeling a little less stressed. Slowly working through my CPR/First Aide training now.
I understand this is a stressful time for a lot of people. I'm here if you want to talk, or if you don't want to talk but would like hugs. *hugs offered*
Here is a cute kitten in a dumb pyramid hat. Enjoy!
@Sparrow Hi Sparrow! I'm doin' alright though my shoulder hurts today. D:
Yay for CPR/First Aid! Have you been certified before? I've held my certification for something like 4 years now; I re-certify every year even though it lasts for 2. ^^ A few friends and I even started a monthly refresher course where we all run through scenarios together to keep it fresh in our minds! :D
If you have any questions or want to just chit-chat about it, I'm here! ^^
@starkatt @Sparrow Come over to our place for the First Aid meetup! We review our content and stuff from our Red Cross certification program-- we'd be happy to give you a taste of what that looks like. ♥️
Certification through the red cross is like $80 if you go for the online + classroom instruction option (which I strongly recommend).
@Sparrow @starkatt We go over a lot of the stuff you can get online. For online courses, I really strongly recommend the Red Cross' program. They basically built an early 2000s flash game out of being an effective first responder, which sounds dumb but is a surprisingly effective (if hokey) learning tool for an online course.
@mawr @Sparrow heck yeah, please.
TBH I meant to take the course like a year ago and then, I think protesting started taking up my saturdays for a month or so?
