k so my computer has been retarded lately and likes to type the letter o on it's own and then when i want it to type an o it doesn't always let me.....very frustrating.....this week has been very stressful at work with 3 of my clients getting sent to a local inpatient unit and 3 others getting sent to our Promise House (acute respite home) meaning that there has been alot of psychotic and sick people this week.....i'm not much into astrology but i'm beginning to believe that there is a connection between a full moon and psychosis. We also had a client of the center committ suicide and another one of my favorite clients passed away yesterday....i'm not sure i can handle much more stress this week....

i was off all last week in Indy for an ACT conference and I've definitely made up for it this week in work and stress.....the conference was amazing and i loved meeting people from all over the world and i felt bad for leaving the team short handed.....but i needed a break. But coming back to all this week has made me think that i may go crazy as well. Losing clients to death is something that i'm not sure how to handle yet....This is the 2nd one of my clients that we've lost since I started last July. It's tough because we become these people's families in a lot of ways because their real families can't deal with their problems and we spend so much time with them...so when they die it's almost like losing a close friend or family member.....it's sad because both of these people overcame their psych problems and the medical problems are what killed them....it's makes me think alot about the order of life and why we do the things that we do.....

alright well i've been sitting at lutheran hospital since 11am with a client that is having ear surgery and i've just been informed that i can go get something to eat so that's where i'm headed....i know the page is still kind of boring but i'll get some pics posted when i get them off my camera......

New to blogging!

So I've finally decided that since I love checking out other people's blog maybe I should get one of my own. And I was also thinking that maybe this could be a bit of a de-stresser for me cuz Lord knows I need that right now. I'm sure it will be a work in progress and hopefully not be so blank in the near future. But since I'm at work and probably should be doing something more productive I'd better get busy!
