Sunrise, Sunset - Happens Every Day

We are waking up late this morning. Actually, we were up earlier, but went back to bed and slept an additional 3 hours. Wow ...

Yesterday, we had kind of a normal day at work. We were able to concentrate on work, but still fell behind our expectations. It seems like a blur to us at this point. We’ve been working on annuals, then had another intake appointment, then there was some processing of all the papers that have been coming in.

There was a problems with one of the DSP’s. Work had come in which means that regular goals and groups get put aside and the groups do "Workshop" work. About an hour before the end of the day, this DSP came to our office claiming she couldn’t then do the work of documenting any more.

I told her I didn’t have the authority to release her from documentation responsibilities. She left angrily. Within a few moments, she was up front at Sr.’s office complaining she was too sick to work. Then she left. I let Sr. know what happened, I was absolved, but still felt bad for the DSP. I know what it is like to be behind. It is a terrible stress. But, you can’t quit midstream.

At the end of the day, we left for our Dr. M. Meeting. We could feel the familiar changes within us as we walked down the long corridor getting to his office. Anniemi was out for just a few moments at the immediate beginning and end of the appointment, but then Annemarie was out again, followed by Anna and Casey. Ann drove home.

It seems that Anniemi isn’t ready to face fully what had happened at the beginning of the week. Annemarie seemed pretty sure she still didn’t want to be communicating with Dr. M. Anna was out only long enough to convey that Annemarie was sitting in the dark corner and that Anna liked ice cream. And, Casey seemed worried about KC’s feelings.

In general, it left us feeling tired. But, we're midstream also ... nothing to do, but rest and get up to the next day ... The rest will happen as it will.
