1. It's been a fast and busy week! Work is still ridiculously busy, but I have high hopes that the stress may have reached its peak and that we're on the way of getting things back under control. We have a consultant who we're working with, so I had to work on Saturday to meet with him. It was a LONG and intense day, but I think progress is being made. We love the patients SO much....if we can just fix some of the administrative stuff we're dealing with, work would be so perfectly golden.Knock on wood!
2. That said, every day has its own set of crazy. Yesterday, I was chasing a brain injured client with no memory as he ran out the front door and across the parking lot, as he was yelling and throwing various articles of clothing and personal belongings. Today, I had a client whip out his penis in the middle of a brain injury support group. I love it!
3. What do you say when a client whips out their penis in the middle of a support group, you might ask. Well, what I say is, "So-and-so, that's not appropriate for brain injury support group. Put it back in your pants until you have private time." It's hard to segue back to group conversation after you've discussed genitalia.
4. On Thursday night, Rebecca is going to start taking hula lessons! Actually, it's Hawaiian and Polynesian dance (they even throw in some Filipino dances!), and they get to wear little sarongs to class. She and her cousin Hannah are going to be taking the class together. How cute is that going to be??? I know there will be some fabulous pics to come from this adventure. How sad is it that I have been planning her wardrobe for class each week?
5. In reality tv news, Real Housewives of Orange County is finished except for the reunion show. It was a good season! We've still got New York and New Jersey. Plus now Million Dollar Decorators is on and Flipping Out is starting up. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time fitting in the Bachelorette. It's good stuff, my friends. Don't knock it!
6. Rebecca is able to essentially give herself a complete shower, though we still watch over her and make sure her hair is really washed and that she doesn't drown and such. It's hilarious to see how much soap she uses to wash her tummy though. As if she ever actually gets dirty or sweaty. The best part is when she washes her underarms. She giggles so hard, because she tickles herself as she does it. Every time, it is a new set of giggles.
7. We should be closing on our houses sometime next week! Everything is in on the sale of our house, except for the last finalization of the loan stuff after they got in all the paperwork from the HOA, the appraisal, etc. Can't wait to get a firm date! We'll still have to do a walk-through a couple of days before closing, but other than that, it seems as though we are good to go!
8. All is going well with our new house as well. They put the tile in last week. The wood floors got started today and will continue to be installed tomorrow. The carpet should go in on Friday. After that, they still have to do some paint touchups in a couple of spots, install the facing on the fireplace, and the only other remaining thing should be to put in the sprinkler system and landscaping in the back yard. It looks like we'll still be able to close concurrently on both! Please pray for no last minute hiccups in this process!
9. It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks. This weekend, we will be packing like crazy (Ramy, please note that this means no naps this weekend)! We also have a graduation party for our niece Jessica. Next week, Grammy arrives for her visit on Tuesday night. Our niece Jessica graduates from middle school on Wednesday night. We should be closing sometime around Thursday. Hula class is on Thursday night. On Friday, Rebecca has her regular dance class dress rehearsal. Saturday is her dance recital. Sunday is Father's Day. And sometime within three days after closing, we'll be moving.
10. Do you know about Sorelli jewelry? They make pieces that are inspired by antiques but made with semiprecious stones. Good stuff without the major expense of true antiques. If you love jewelry like I do (and, oh, I do!), then you just might need to check out their site. Even better, find a retailer so you can see it in person. They make gorgeous pieces! My mommy bought me a necklace and earrings for my birthday, and now I'm obsessed. Because it wasn't enough to love all kinds of beaded necklaces that I have spilling out of my jewelry drawer. I really needed to start a new jewelry love affair.
