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).

@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?

I'd recommend doing an online course to just get the ball rolling, since your schedule sounds busy, and then hit up @mawr for in-person practice.

@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.

(Delayed response lol)

Are any of those materials available for free, or do you have to pay for the whole program to assess them? I'm doing my CPR training thru a different organization, but that sounds like a fun way to reinforce what I'm learning.

@Sparrow @starkatt You have to pay to get access, sadly.
