Tomorrow is Friday!

Yeah, this working 5 days a week stuff kinda stinks. I sure miss having the weekend, plus Friday and Monday off! This week has gone really fast though. On Monday, I had a scheduled intake and did a crisis walk-in, before driving to San Bernardino to finish up my child testing case. I am glad to be done with that kid, I have to admit! On Tuesday, I did two walk-in intakes and went to an FSP (full service partnership) meeting. Wednesday, I worked on putting together a cache of referral resources for all the intake clients I'm seeing. I also had Child Treatment Team meeting and a medication and symptom support group and then worked on my testing report. Today, I was at the Perinatal clinic, where I co-led the Co-Occurring Group (for clients who have both drug/alcohol addictions and a mental illness), did a couple of individual client sessions, and participated in the All Staff/All Client group. My Perinatal day is shaping up to be my favorite day of the week, but boy am I exhausted when I get out of there! I also had testing supervision with Dr. Thorn today at lunch, so it was a packed day. Tomorrow is our relaxing intern day, which is kicked back and we get out early.

Rebecca has been having a simply wonderful week with her Grammy this week. On Monday and Tuesday, they did all kinds of art and craft projects. Yesterday, they went to see the movie Hotel for Dogs and then got pizza and ice cream afterward. Rebecca told me she didn't like the movie but she did like seeing all the dogs. Today, they went to McDonalds. After enjoying her Happy Meal, Rebecca played in the Play Place. Unfortunately, it was overrun by some rowdy older kids so they didn't stick around too long. Rebecca has continued to tell us about the bad kids who were throwing things. She's prepared for next time, because if one runs at her, she's going to say, "Stop it, kids!" Even though she's little, she's not afraid to stick up for herself! Tonight, we went to the park after dinner, and Rebecca enjoyed some time to swing and slide and run around.

My aunt Margaret will be having coronary artery bypass grafting surgery tomorrow, so please pray that everything goes well with her surgery and in her recovery.
