Slow Down

. Hello Everyone: It's been like the topics for the past few days but I think the beastly weather is finally back to a more comfortable state. I had one of my awful migraines yesterday during work. I was bad enough that I had to step away from work and close my eyes. The cause was the lack of sleep from the warm weather and paint fumes. PLB maintenance sent a painter to re-do my bathroom and the fumes were too much. Fortunately everyone was very understanding about it. I was finally able to get some sleep last night. I feel better today, enough to get what I needed to done. Work has slowed down to a point where we have to find things to do for eight hours. The peer coaches have come with some fun games to play that reinforce what we've learned. It also gives me some time to get some things done around the house while I'm listening in. Right now, we're doing a group exercise where we have to match the child with the parent. It's all process of elimination but we finally find it. That's all part of the job. The slower pace has made an otherwise stressful job, less stressful. In fact, it's allowed us the chance to take a breath and go back over the basics. The person who disappeared for a couple of hours the other day is on her best behavior. I think the higher ups had a good long talk with her and told her that she needs to decide whether or not she wants to stay. It maybe a temporary thing due to the slower pace. I think the slower pace has made us all less snappish. Anyway, it's almost the end of the shift and I'm tired.
