The kids went out to help Dad with the mowing. Grandma’s tractor has been in the shop so they hadn’t been out there to mow in a while. I was going to be working on a paper but work texted saying that one of the nurses had called off. I still needed a weekend shift this month so I said I’d go in. And yes you do want to help out when you can. It’s a very busy wing and there’s always something going on but I do still like it.

After getting home we went for a ride around the property. It’d been a little while since I’d been that far on the grounds. We zoomed around through the woods and along the river. I know the names the names of points, like “high point” and “John’s spot”, but I still wouldn’t know how to walk from here to there. I’m sure I could eventually find them, but I don’t go out to the “back 40” often. I stay on the side closest to main camp.

I checked in the shift notes to see what had happened with the lady I mentioned. It said she “expired” on Wednesday a little after five. Her son had come in to sit with her which made me happy. This time there was a resident who was very exhausted and wanted to just give up and die. A supervisor was there so I asked her about it after the family was asking me questions. Later he perked back up and ate his supper.
