1. You know, when they told me I was a very creative person I didn't think my capacity for bullshitting would be put into play by cheerfully and instantly explaining to someone who was pacing up and down the halls until she nearly fell down, and is now convinced she forgot to send my parents a thank-you note and should get up again to do it, that Mom had already gotten it. Also, she loved the stationary. You know, the one with the cardinals on it. She thought it was so cute and so thoughtful of Resident. It must have slipped Resident's mind, but my mother had just thought it was so nice of her to do it.
By God it settled her down to sleep like a lamb, though. If I had had to I would have as cheerfully pulled out my cell phone and told Mom that Resident would like to know if her thank you note had come, so could she reassure her about it? The one on the CARDINAL STATIONARY. About the THING.
2. Some of you may remember the resident who was yelling for her mother. Two coworkers were more or less wrestling her into her night clothes when I wandered by to see if they needed help and/or point and laugh at them (howls of "MAMA! MAAA
MAA!" clearly audible down the hall) when she caught sight of me, and quavered, "M-Mama?"
Bastard coworkers promptly told 'Mama' she could put her daughter in bed, and fled like the cowards they are, leaving me to make soothing noises about those horrible people and tuck her tenderly into bed.
3. There was a craft show at Pioneer Square and I bought a delicious hazelnut truffle and chocolate-espresso covered almonds, and the dude with the nuts gave me extra because I was like, yeah, caregiver, and he was like, DUDE.
4. Read first book of Dresden Files. It was pretty good, I guess? I mean, I'm kind of glad I got it from the library instead of buying it and I dunno if I'd like, write massive porno starring Harry or whatever, but pretty good! Definitely better than the Anita Blake books.
adskfl;ka I want to write but all I have is terrifying work stories and half-formed jokes. I have to go to the libary tomorrow anyway, will try there.
