I meant to post last night for Thankful Thursday, but when I finally cracked open the laptop it took all of about five minutes for me to fall asleep. I slept a couple of hours sitting here in my recliner before waking up just enough to stumble to bed. I hadn't realized I was that tired, but I guess the day took more out of me than I realized. Well, one event, anyway.
We had our Easter celebration at work yesterday. Normally it's a breakfast and then we're done and everyone goes back to work. This year it was a lunch because a long time employee chose to get married at work during the party. Because of all that, we didn't go back to work. It turned into a dance party.
It was long because I had a female one-on-one who is very demanding and mentally exhausting. My coworker, Don, who I fill in for with his (also very demanding) one-on-one needed a few minutes away from his guy, who has been out of sorts and extremely demanding lately (something is going on with him, but we don't know what). He tried to walk out of the room several times, but his guy kept following him. Finally, it seemed like he was going to comply. He said "Okay" and turned to me and came like he was going to dance. Then he swung his hips into me as hard as he could. That sent me flying into a table (hit my side) and before I could get my balance the chairs slid apart and I knew I was going down. I managed to spin around so I landed on my behind rather than on my knees.
The fallout is that my side is sore and my tail bone/butt/lower back is really hurting. Also, going forward no one but Don can watch that consumer because he was never good at listening to anyone but Don and now he isn't even listening to him. I am relieved as he is the one I have talked about taking out all day by myself when Don is not there. It's been okay in the past, but with whatever is going on with him I've been worried how he would be and I'd be out somewhere by myself with no one to help.
So that's where I am...stiff and sore, but nothing terribly wrong and a lot to do today.
One day late, here's my Thankful Thursday list.
1. I'm thankful I am only stiff and sore today.
2. I'm thankful for all the coworkers and clients who gathered around me wanting to help, showed concern, and were glad I wasn't seriously hurt.
3. I'm thankful the rain is done for the day so I can go get the last of what I need for Easter.
4. I'm thankful tomorrow is going to be nice so we can still have the egg hunt with the grandchildren. With our daughter still getting over the flu she decided we should not get together for Easter dinner on Sunday. She doesn't want to expose my mom to the germs because of her age and the fact that my stepdad is still in the hospital.
5. I'm thankful Mom is going to come to our house. I'm still cooking the ham, but things will be more relaxed. We'll box up some food for our daughter's family.
6. I'm thankful our grandson started a new ADHD medication and is doing very well with it. It has helped a lot with his schooling. Our granddaughter has an appointment today to see about trying an ADHD medication. Getting her to sit still for class is impossible!
There's more I am thankful for, but I do need to get moving and take care of the last of my Easter shopping. Have a blessed and beautiful day on this Good Friday!
