this week is fired.
1. Our philosophy professor / stoner dude died last night, which is depressing but not entirely unexpected.
2. D/t one assisted living caregiver having a grandparent die (good riddance to him but she had shit to do) and another one apparently going to dramatically to the hospital with contractions at 33 weeks, I got pulled from memory care to assisted living. This, mind you, after I had just begun to think thankfully that at last I would have a quiet day just once this week. It didn't go terribly but I haven't worked over there for over a year, so I just sort of flailed around and tried to stay out of everybody's way. I DID get the hall with the lady with the Siamese cats so that was awesome.
My main problem with working AL is the sheer amount of ground you cover during the day -- in memory care we have as much work to do, but more focused on fewer people and with less physical area to cover, and oh god the walking, the walking sucked so much.
3. Sweater is now too big to fit in any bag but the ginorm Anna tote. So now the Holden shawlette is traveling with me instead. I think I'm almost done with the mindnumbing stockingnette part, but I have to count to make sure and I am incapable of counting beyond 'one - two - many - LOTS' right now.
