fredxmertzThe residential treatment facility where I've been working closed this week. I had worked there on and off for about 8 years. During the month before closing, all the employees fled, and I worked a ton of hours there, including 2 doubles and three overnights in July.
I feel like I've been dwelling in some really dark places.
This afternoon. a client showed up at the med window for her 2 pm medications. I was distracted, she just said
POISON
I said, "What?"
POISON she said. IT TASTES LIKE RAT POISON
ME: we don't give out poison.
Client: my meds. i need my meds.
I acknowledge her as gracefully as I can and get her meds.
Client: I feel like I'm being shot up with Spanish Fly!
ME: No one is doing that. (then I notice she is wearing heavy eye shadow)
Inside my head: time to go home! get me out of here. Luckily, there were 2 employees on the floor, both cool, and they didn't me leaving 2 hours earlier than my schedule.
It's hot.
I don't want to turn on the news. white supremacist ass holes are shooting up our country.
Things are better for me at the moment. I'm going to be working at a scheumack broom shop, making brooms for the broom chick (https://www.etsy.com/shop/BROOMCHICK) back in Eugene. And I still have my job as a relief counselor at other programs around Eugene.
Right now, I'm feeling very blessed, hanging out in L.A. with family, getting a tattoo and having a few adventures.
