This week was the most exhausting week of work I’ve had since I started. There were all kinds of crazy things that happened. Kids were falling out of chairs, crying nonstop, getting lost, and developing toe-threatening infections. I am so tired.
Right now I’m actually really happy though. I’m sitting at Christy’s store working on this update, which I’ve wanted to do for a while. If any of you haven’t been to her store, you should stop in and see it. She’s really made it such a great little place. I’m trying to decide what CD is in the stereo. Christy was listening to it before I got here, so I didn’t see her put it in. It’s a girl, and she sounds young. She sounds like a Lizzie McGuire type person. What’s her name again? Anyway, I guess her. Hillary Duff, that’s it… I was right. I’m switching it to Ani Difranco. They have a very interesting mix of CDs here. I guess my mom, my sister, and Toni are all pretty different in their musical tastes.
I know I have tons of time, but lately I’ve been thinking about after I graduate and whether or not I want to work at a hospital before I go into a setting like the Lighthouse. I feel like working in pediatric acute care would be beneficial, because I would see the beginning stages of what the kids go through. I just don’t know if I really need to see that though, or if it’s enough that I think they can do anything and cheer them on when they’re older. I read an article today, and that situation is one that if the kids survive, they will need a place like the lighthouse. How important is it that I see how they survive the surgery? If it’s important, then I would like to know why so I can get excited about doing working in a hospital for a while. I know the initial therapy is important, but it’s a lot different from school based OT. I don’t know. It’s just something I’m wondering about.
Well… I could probably sit here and write for the next 45 minutes until the store closes, but it probably wouldn’t really be worth reading. I should take a nap. I have a big Scrabble game ahead of me tonight, and I need to be on my toes.
