Currently

It's 10:00 on Wednesday evening. I will be heading to bed soon, but I wanted to check in. It's been a while. 

I came down with a nasty cold this past Saturday and have been fighting it ever since. It's not gone, but I am doing much better. Tim, who got it and brought it home last week, has a horrible cough and body aches. His breathing is terribly raspy. On Monday I finally convinced him he needs to see a doctor and tomorrow (Thursday) was the first opening they had. They are that swamped with folks fighting various respiratory ailments. MedExpress and the ER are the same way.

Anyway, let's talk about what's currently happening.

Reading... nothing. I haven't been able to concentrate to read. I hate that aspect of being sick.

Watching... Gutfeld at the moment.

Listening to... Tim's snoring. It's awful due to his cold.

Loving... my pretty new Valentine's manicure.

Thinking... about tomorrow. Due to one staff member being off for his birthday and another being off sick, I am going to be paired up with arguably the toughest consumer we have. He is a one-on-one and while I get along with him just fine (when his regular person is present) I have never been alone with him for more than a few minutes here and there. He is unpredictable and has to be handled carefully. He's better than he's ever been, but there's a long history of violent responses and you never know what will set him off. (Last week during a retirement luncheon for a department manager, he chased down her 10 year old grandson and took him down.) I'm praying that our usual "friendship" allows him to feel calm and settled and he doesn't take it to mind to test me.

Feeling... better than I have in nearly a week.

Celebrating... we have a Super Bowl lunch/party at work on Friday. That's all I've got right now.

Grateful... the much-hyped ice storm blowing through tonight is looking to be a case of "nothing much." It hasn't started yet and it's supposed to be over and turned to rain before sunrise tomorrow. Our area is supposed to get the worst of it and that shouldn't be much. Unless, the weather folks get it wrong. Ha!

Enjoying... getting to know our new supervisor. She is young. Very young. But she seems to be nice, genuinely interested in what we have to say, and most importantly, more than competent.
