kirsty, I hope so too. I like him a whole lot, and would love him to have the same energy that I'm experiencing...so he can keep up with me!

Ah, yesterday.
Yesterday we had a Hallowe'en party at work. Pizzas and lots of sweets were brought, and everyone enjoyed themselves, including ME, who brought quinoa and roasted vegs.
I hadn't got much sleep on Thursday night: to bed at 10:00ish, and being waked up by my phone making a blip sound at 1:30 and NOT getting back to sleep. Finally said "screw it" and got up. Showered, had my time with God,...got my morning going. This sleeplessness was from some stuff my friend Bill and I had talked about...and worrying that the friendship is going into a "heart" realm that it isn't ready for. I like him SO MUCH, but really and truly want to see him get a handle on his health. Anyway, that is the ONLY red flag. Otherwise, he's a pretty awesome guy. And I don't want to fall in love with him, but...ah, I am getting very attached to him.

well, anyway that kept me from sleeping deep, so I went to work rather sleep deprived. Job coaching my main client was good. He was dressed as an Evil Jester...Mr S is mute, but he has this evil cackle down pat
![laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/lol.gif)
and he was demonstrating it for his co-workers. He works at shopko, and I found a cute little felt witch's hat head band with braids that is extremely dorky looking...for two bucks, I figured why not.
Back at the center it was a party, and I crept into the side room and crashed on the bed there...until a coworker came in to put on gloves: Mr C had smeared all over the bathroom...and she took care of that the last time he did it, so I got up and dealt with it...
Then it was time to take another client to the hospital for a treatment, so I left...on the drive down, I was still smelling poop.

Got into the hospital w/Mr E and glanced down...there were three streaks of brown on my sleeve! yes. Poop on my clothing.
![eek :eek:](./images/smilies/eek.gif)
thankfully, I was dressed in layers and could take that off. Ugh. I'm kinda tired of adult poop, you know? This past two weeks, we've had FOUR "Sh*tty Days" what with accidents and this smearing thing is getting OLD.
After the hospital appointment and a long, rush hour drive home, it was the rescue mission, where I have made some friends for SURE. I knew it was going to be this way. I got the strongest sense that I would be making friends there, and having fellowship with people in that group, and I have. Bill, chief among them. But there's also Delbert, Carl, Jeff, Kyler, Cassandra, Nate, Berlin...some in the program, some volunteers like me. They are lots of fun...well, it's cool working alongside others in service. It brings me a lot of joy, doing this and I'm very glad that God directed me into it.
Huh. This is also cool: jamming on guitar with Bill. My habit on Saturdays for the longest time has been to get some housework done in the morning, then get on Facebook and play Bejeweled Blitz while listening to a couple of radio programs I enjoy...and I'd be bummed by the end of the day, because I hadn't done anything cool on my day off. Again.
now there's Bill, who has made money as a musician. he's teaching me lots of things about guitar, and we've done some jamming together, practicing for Open Mic Nights...and THAT'S what I'm doing today! going down to the mission w/my git fiddle and hanging with my buddy Bill.
I also have songbooks to collate today, after guitar practice. And gotta GOTTA
GOTTA get the front room tidied up. sheesh. and some yard work is needed, as well. but I have the energy for it for sure.
