12/1/2020:

I started second guessing myself about the COVID test when I took my temperature and it was normal. That didn't last long though, and may have been a result of sitting in the basement all day for the bootcamp. I didn't expect the basement to be cold! In fact, I expected it to be warm since the furnace is right there and it's so cold in the summer. I think part of the problem is the floor, which is super thin carpet on top of bare concrete. 

I thought sitting on a pilates ball would make sitting for that long easier. That doesn't appear to be the case. Standing up is uncomfortable and it takes a bit to get fully straightened.

I was able to get my homework done again during the lecture, but did horribly on today's quiz. I'd heard and noted the answers to some of the questions I got wrong just minutes prior, too. When we reviewed, I'd made at least one stupid mistake, adding in a binary value that was a zero. For review purposes:

|    128    |    64    |    32    |    16    |    8    |    4    |    2    |    1    |
|_______|______|______|______|_____|_____|_____|_____|
|    0        |    0      |    1      |    1      |    0    |    1    |    0    |    1    |
|_______|______|______|______|_____|_____|_____|_____|

1: 1 = 1
2: 0 = 1
4: 1 = 5
8: 0 = 5
16: 1 = 21
32: 1 = 53
64: 0 = 53
128:         0 = 53

We had a Pathway program meeting today, where they introduced a lady who is there to help connect us with things like programs to help pay rent and utilities while we're in the bootcamp. I spoke with her about my situation, and she's going to see what she can do to help with rent, utilities, my unemployment claim, and possibly my car payment.

I heard from Leo about the Ohio Means Jobs supplemental funds. They have been approved. I didn't think to ask until today how much they would be. $25/day will help, but it won't get me through without unemployment.

It snowed again all day, though not nearly as hard toward the end of the day. I wasn't able to walk because of the 2 feet of snow everywhere, but I did shovel the front walk twice and the back section once. I had Athena on a lead and she seemed to not mind being outside nearly as much as when it was actively storming. The snow was deep enough to pretty much bury her as she explored the new landscape. She's a very good dog, and didn't go potty in the house. She definitely peed the first time we were out, and definitely pooped the second time. It was obvious she'd been holding the poops in, by the size of them.
