Good Day, Bad Day...

Felt great this morning so went to see some of my favorite clients at one of my least favorite facilities. All but one of my clients there are in the special care unit (a locked unit) due to dementia. I love my clients and everytime I see them, I remember why I do what I do for a living. A few problems needed to be taken care of with the facility administrator and the resident care director regarding a couple clients, but all in all it was a good visit.

Then off to home where my husband was working hard painting the deck (95% complete) and it was looking good. I praised him for his efforts and the excellent job he was doing, got him an ice cold lemonade and hopped into my bathing suit and scurried off to the pool. About an hour after arriving at the pool, the skies grew dark and ominous clouds appeared in the west. So, out of the pool and back home just in time. The skies opened up and we had a deluge which washed away much of the new topsoil we had just spread in the backyard over the weekend and washed away some of the paint on the newly painted deck. Some days you just
can't win.

And the clincher for the day? Katharine Hepburn died. I have admired her forever and I will always remember her spunk and spirit. I like to think of her plunging into the cold Atlantic waters off the coast of Connecticut every morning for a swim - knowing how cold that water can be, I have to think she was also tough as nails. Now she's gone and so is my favorite actor, Gregory Peck. Both of them were exemplified intergrity in their lives and work. Thank God for the films which will keep them alive forever.

It is still raining as I write this and later in the week, Tropical Storm Bill should be paying us a visit. Oh well, Mother Nature just can't help herself - it's just her nature.....

Egads - where did the weekend go? I only accomplished half of what I planned to do. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to sneak off to the pool sometime tomorrow. I have the beginnings of a tan - my first in many years. The health experts warn against it, but I think a tan once every ten years ought to be okay.

This is short and sweet - off to the shower, then a little of the Yankee game while my hair dries and then off to bed.
