Oh, Sheryl, what a time! How old is Mr S now?

Theo, he'll be 9 in a week.

He ended up being taken to another ER by Gary....

Poor kid, poor you.

We've had a rough week at work, three of our long-timers died -- residents who were there when I was hired, so I've had nearly 5 years to get to know them, given them plenty of rides, knew what their particular treats were.

One thing the long-time staff here points out is that it used to be that we got long-timers as residents, but with changes in health care options, we're seeing sicker residents who don't last as long, a higher stage of Parkinson's or heart failure or whatever.

Anyway, back to the grind on Monday. We have a sweet batch of residents and staff I'm proud to work with.

Our wings are not tired.

Sheryl, my heart aches for you, Gary, and Mr. S. Also, your home should give you a break!

We have a sweet batch of residents and staff I'm proud to work with.

I'm sorry for the losses this week. It is still very hard even at this type of residence where you expect losses.

Timelies all!

Mr. S has been checked in to the pediatric behavioral unit of the hospital he ended up at last night. Don't know how long he'll be there...

I'm sorry, Sheryl. I hope they are helpful.

Gone are the days when we would be posting constantly all day. I kinda miss those days :)

Yeah. I’ve been a bit bewildered with the unexpectedly good news coming out of the French and UK elections. It makes me think of that one panel from Hyperbole and a Half: Maybe everything’s not hopeless bullshit.
