"It was a dark and stormy night..."

I'm aware Texas is not on this map... I just found this humerus. 

It finally feels like what I imagine fall is like for Texas. I could be wrong since I'm not a native but this mid 60's weather we had earlier this week felt like it for me though my locally-grown co-workers say that was cool for this time of year. 

I am enjoying this windy evening listening to Miami Sound Machine radio on Pandora. And yes, the rhythm IS gonna get you. TONIGHT. I have fall vibes going on with my pumpkin spice tarts and vanilla candles. And my Dia de Los Muertos candles (when in Rome...). Moving on. 

Nothing really new to report with work. OT all day err day. I worked today. I feel like I am working my tail off with not much to show for it because I spend lunches completing paperwork therefore increasing my productivity but decreasing my overall hours. I can't keep doing that because I need the 40 hrs and am definitely working over that- just not all on the clock. 

There are always a couple winners at every nursing home who are a) crazy, b) hate therapy with a burning passion, and if you're lucky c) crazy people who hate therapy with a burning passion.  Well, there's this incredibly charming and friendly gentleman (all of those words are too polite) who jumps (not literally) at the chance to hate therapy. Well, on his hallway there has been a red rollator walker  (4 wheels and a seat) that has been collecting dust it sits there so long. Well, we're short one in therapy so I had suggested to a PTA to use that one since it didn't appear to belong to anyone we could borrow it. BAD IDEA. This a-hole rolls his ass down to the gym and demands we get his walker. I said that I knew who had it and I would go look for it. Since he was being such a jerk and demanded I look for it then and there (while having a patient in there with me who saw all of this)- I glared at him and said I would look for it in a little bit. No. not enough. He rolls down to where I am in the gym and starts yelling at me and telling me what to do to which I replied that "I don't take orders from you"- I will admit not the most professional thing to say but he was being a shit. When he said that that walker has been sitting out of his room for 1 year I WANTED to say 'for what? you aren't using it!' I didn't. The DOR took over from there and them I embarrassingly cried from anger but not in front of him. I'm pretty sure he won't forget my mean mug but I'm faster and stronger.  And in all reality, the majority of nursing home residents are lovely and kind people, there are just a couple gems in each building that make you question your patience and tolerance. 

Last weekend, Bella and I went to Beaumont for a walk in Wuthering Heights Park- no sight of Heathcliffe, Katherine (?) , or any of the Bronte sisters. Also no moors. Cute little park with decorated benches. Also, don't ask me anymore about that book. That's pretty much all I know and care to know. 

Those are in fact supposed to be cardinals. I'm calling it the murder bench. 

For those of you who don't know, birds are typically monogamous creatures and mate for life. Strange concept, huh?

And now for your 3 Fun Facts:

1. The first umbrella factory was established in Baltimore (1828).
2. Charles Schultz's comic Peanuts debuted in October 1950
3. Baseball player Lou Gehrig's nickname was The Iron Horse 

⭐ I'm going to start a new series for the next couple blogs to give you clues as to where my next assignment. NO GUESSING until you get all of the clues (I will probably do max of 5 clues) and NO COMMENT from those who already know. ⭐

1. 10/20/18- FIRST clue: Wells Fargo 

The show must go on and Bella must have her evening constitutional, 

Peace, love, and pumpkin spice 🎃,

ME
