More Rain

I spent the last hour at work laughing with Ms. Mavis-the 100 year-old firecracker-about how she killed two rats in her dorm room back in college! To look into this woman's eyes is to go back in time! She always has great stories to tell...and if you've been reading this so far, you know I love stories! It was just the kind of ending to my day that I needed, because it started out horribly: only myself and one other CNA on the floor with about 45 patients and no nurses in sight to help. Sure, they can tell you what you need to be doing, but don't count on them to pitch in when times get rough. The mood inside the nursing home echoed the one outside: cold, dreary, and wet. I'm so glad to be home...and I have the weekend off!
