What happened to the weekend?

Here's a picture of Rebecca in her furry Dora slippers. I got these for her a few weeks ago and I'd forgotten about them until I found them in a bag in my closet. She's so pleased with them and was quite happy to model for me!

Wow, weekends certainly do seem to fly by, now that mine are only two days long like everyone else's! We've had a lovely time of it though. Ramy was off on Friday, so he got a jump-start on getting the laundry done while I was in my intern meeting. (I know, what I say is true - he really is a saint!). My Fridays are actually very relaxed. I am never at my clinics on Friday, because we have our intern training day, where we handle a lot of the business of the internship, as well as having a countertransference group, case presentations, and some sort of didactic training as well. We get out around 1:30 and call it a day, which is very nice. We decided we would take turns bringing breakfast for the group to nosh on, so I volunteered to go first this week. I'm trying to decide what I'll make. I have to set the bar pretty high, right?

After I got home on Friday, we hung out for a bit and then took Rebecca to the park. She had an awesome time, as did we. I snapped 265 pictures while we were there! Don't worry, I won't inflict all of them on you! But as soon as I get them edited and in some semblance of order, I'll definitely be posting a lot of them. Saturday was a relaxing day for us, mostly chilling at home and doing things like going to Target and Costco. Yesterday morning, we went to 7:30 mass and then drove up to Apple Valley to attend Adelaide's first birthday party. I can't believe she is a year old! They had a cute little sprinkler/splash pad thing, and even though Addie wasn't such a fan of the cold water, Rebecca certainly got Julie's money's worth out of it! I've also got tons of pics from that event, as you can well imagine.

So, I'm off to work this morning. Because I finally got log-in information in to my computer, I can finally start seeing clients. Thank goodness! It makes the days go by a lot faster when you have something to do, especially when there's a waiting room full of mentally ill people who need services. Last week, there was a triage done of a guy who was supposed to wait for his intake appointment, but he took off. Because he had revealed suicidality in the triage, everyone was panicked, they had to call the police to do a wellness check, etc. There's truly never a quiet day in a community mental health clinic!
