saturday

It's my weekend off. Yay!

Daughter was invited to the high school homecoming to crown this years queen. So after a long day at school, and then long evening at work, she went to the homecoming last night.
It made her feel a little sad.
She misses her school.

I tried staying up late last night because some of the time I jsut don't want the day to end. I fell asleep on the couch though, with M r. Bojangles, and I think it was before mid night.

Sister has been out of rehab. for over a month. She's doing well. Her and two of her 12 step friends went to other sisters house and encouraged her to go to rehab. She agreed. So sister and her 2- 12 step friends took other sister to the rehab. hospital. She has hundreds of  friends she's met over the past 2 plus decades  from the program.........hopefully she'll be OK. Hopefully both of them will be OK.
Why after a couple plus decades of  clean living would someone start using again? Did they miss one meeting too many? Was it the money lost when the market crashed? Taking care of a chronically ill parent? Menopause? Husbands illness? Empty nest syndrome?
I don't know.......

Work is going well.
I like the people I work with.....we had a really good state survey, again.

It was pouring down rain, thundering and lightening the other day while at work and the temperature outside was chilly. So the building felt a little chilly.........and the usually bright building inside felt cloudy..............I wish we would have had a bunch of huge over stuffed sofas in the lounges. I would have gathered all of my patients, taken them out of their hard, cold wheelchairs, put them on the big soft couches........and covered them with the softest blankets........ popped popcorn for them..........and put on some really good movies.....if they wanted to........
