north

The weather is changing. Everything outside is bright, and the wind is blowing steadily down from the northwest. It promises a cool weekend. I wish it was Friday already.

Dear people,

If you are making a report of abuse and/or neglect, it's really helpful to provide the address or telephone number of the family in question. Because if we don't have that, we can't do anything.

Just a thought.

thanks,
your friendly neighborhood social worker

What a day. Things are crazy weird out there, and certainly on the phone. But at least it's almost chilly outside! I think it must be in the 60s. There's a good breeze blowing. I love it.

Tonight I'm going to go home and bake like mad. My supervisor is transferring to another unit. Woe. He's one of the most fabulous bosses I've ever worked for and I'll be sad not to have him anymore. He's patient, explains things clearly, is always willing to take an extra five minutes, understanding, helpful, etc, etc. He's also been very generous to me during this awful time in my life and has encouraged me to take time off when things become overwhelming. I have a lot of respect for him, watching him work. He also happens to be funny as all get out, and makes the work day pass along faster. It's such a pleasure to work for someone I respect and like.

So I'm bringin baked goods and we're going to have a little celebration for him tomorrow. I think I'll make brownies and if I have the stuff, more sugar cookies. I still have most of a bottle of blue sugar sprinkles that need to be used.

My Harvest Moon came in the mail yesterday and it is delicious. There's late summer flowers, apples, pears, plums and ivy to it. I love the note of ivy. I ordered a bottle for my mother as a birthday present and she adores it.

Tomorrow night can't get here fast enough.
