TGIF

It's been a very long week and I don't know about anybody else around here, but this social worker is BEYOND happy that the weekend is upon her.

Some of the things that happened for me this week:

Business trip with my 2 male bosses. Always awkward and uncomfortable.....

Began the journey to look at nursery schools for my son. Competition is very fierce out there, even at the age of 3. The process has to be started in January however to guarantee a spot for September.

Dealt with some more personal/family drama. And it's not over yet ;).

Finally, I can't provide a lot of details in case it winds up in the media, however, one of my most favorite clients ever found out this week that they WILL be going to jail. Yours truly got to go to break the news to them. I think everyone in the room was crying :(.

So yeah, it has been a VERY rough week around here.


What about you? How are things going out there in Socialworkland?

It's Friday!!

How was your week so far everyone?

So far, so good in this part of the world. AND today is pay-day too :). Can't get much better than that. (Well, except if I had no bills and win the lottery my co-workers and I entered this weekend).

On a sadder note, I do have to ask that you all keep one of my clients in your thoughts.

I can't share any details but I know they need as much positive that exists out there right now to be on their side. This is probably one of the most serious situations I have heard happening to someone I have ever worked with.

Wells, it is time for me to hop in the shower so I can start my day.

I am actually planning on going into the office for a few hours this morning to get some work done!

As I've mentioned in the past, I generally work from home on Fridays but since DH and DS are here today, anything productive for my job would not be happening at home.

Hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend, and thanks for following.

Happy Social Work Wednesday all!

What kind of hope are you keeping on your list for this week?

For both your clients and yourselves?

Crazy dreams

I had one of these last night and just woke up and cannot get it out of my head.

I went alone to visit someone random I chit chat with from time to time.

We ate fried chicken prepared for us fresh from the coop behind a little restaurant.

At one point, we were taking in some different sites in California. Then, we took a train and instantly, we were back at her building which was in a completely different state across the country.

I was then rushing to the airport to catch my flight home and realized I forgot my ID.

I had to travel back to her home, and could not remember her apartment #, last name or even the name of the city I was in currently.

I was getting off the elevator at each floor to try to remember her apartment, and no floor looked familiar to me.

Everywhere I was surrounded by ballerinas. Kinda like that movie Black Swan LOL.

That's when I woke up.

Yikes. I'm still sweating here.

I went to a dream interpretation site and I guess I must have a lot of underlying crazy going on in my life right now to dream such a dream. (Or perhaps it was just the spicy chips I ate before bedtime.)


Have you dreamt anything crazy that has stayed with you lately?

Don't know about you guys......

but I would love to call in Cold! at work today.

Yes, I've been unseasonably spoiled with warmer weather this winter, and yes, I do realize it IS January afterall, but it's still a total shock to my system dealing with the weather when it dips down to freezing level.

Even my pipes can't keep up and my house is like a total icebox.

Anyways, today I am totally thankful though I no longer depend on public transportation to get to and from work. Now those days really used to suck.

Happy Hump day everyone!!! Hope you are staying warm and toasty wherever you are.

Day off

I have today off from work since New Year's fell on Sunday.

I have nothing big planned, which is totally fine by me.

Need to take DS to the pediatrician. He has a cold and a "smell" coming from his nose.

Then I have to fold and put away a fairly large pile of laundry that is quickly multiplying in my basement.

Later I hope to get back to the mat for my first Bikram class of 2012. I haven't been in probably about a week now and need to get back into the yoga groove.

Do you have off today? What are your plans, if any? How was your New Year's weekend? Anything big coming up this week at work?

I am looking forward to heading back tomorrow. I have a couple of intakes planned in the AM then writing, writing and more writing of client plans as usual :)
