Yesterday was what people called “a day” at work. It’s when there’s a steady stream of people acting different, needing things, being a down an aide, and just a general state that leaves no room for any kind of sitting around. One of the cooks came out of a resident room and commented about it being a full moon or something. I’d thought the same thing but I knew that it wasn’t, and told him it was still a whole week a way.

Which I’m only now realizing wasn’t right because we’re already past it. I had a med error that I had to write up which thankfully was not catastrophic in nature. The medication time had recently changed but the dose itself was still in the pharmacy packets for the old time. I didn’t catch it. So when 1PM came around and the dose wasn’t there, we had to figure out that I’d given it in the morning instead of afternoon.

But anyway, the boys were at Grandma’s so I picked them up when I was finished. She’d picked them up to have them help her clean up in the front of the old house. A few bushes needed trimmed and she had some outdoor decorations that had not yet been moved. They went out to eat for lunch and then watched the afternoon Cardinals game on TV. Matt Carpenter hit a home run his first time at bat. It wasn’t at home though.*
