Weekend was good. I ran in the Boots on the Ground mud run in Los Fresnos, Texas. It was fun. I ran by myself because I slept in but I kind of liked that better. I have sore muscles that never get sore even when I work out every day which makes me want to start running obstacle races all the time to get in better shape.
Also I went to an auction for the school that Andi and Kristi Plattner's two younger sons (Samuel and Nathaniel) go to and got free food and bought a gift basket. I thought it had more sweets in it but it has a lot of crackers, cheese, and salami which I just now realized some of that may need to be refrigerated. I'm not the biggest fan of salami.
This week I am working from 9 to 8 everyday which kind of stinks because it doesn't give me much time to work out. I also really need to clean and pack. I am feeling really unprepared to fly home on Thursday. I had a dream about it last night where I kept missing all my flights. Hopefully I wont sleep in past 10 and miss my flight to Illinois.
I've been thinking about some of the people at work and am realizing different things. Ted (OT) for example is really kind. I already new this but even though I'm not the new person any more he is still supper helpful and caring. Also you should have seen how excited he was when he was telling us about how he gets to keep his eight year old daughter for the whole week of Thanksgiving. It was really sweet.
Micheal (PT) (I'm not sure how to spell his name. It sounds like Mc L) is really down to earth and when he asks you questions it's not just to make small talk which I really like. He is originally from Michigan I think but he is actually Mexican which I find funny because Mexicans are the majority here.
Gabe (rehab aid I think) is constantly teasing people and always looking for a laugh (reminds me a lot of my uncle Joszef). He is really into cars and is restoring some old car. He is also a tattoo artist and has done tattoos for Sharon and Ted.
Victor is the big, tall bus driver with a lot of tattoos who is actually as kind as he looks scary.
Kurt (PTA) is the new guy. He was in the military, is originally from Pennsylvania but has been living in Texas for at least a year, likes kayaking and motorcycling, and has a weird relationship with his ex. He has a really funny sense of humor.
Julia (OTA) is really dry and opinionated. She is a single mom with two young kids. Julia is quitting to take a higher paying job with better hours for her kids. Her last day is at the end of December.
Sharon (OTA) is opinionated too but I can figure her out easier. She is always talking about how much she wants to be in a relationship (a lot of times referring to the physical side of them) and always has the same tone of voice when she quotes people, even if they are very different people. She dreams of being a therapist in the army and traveling to Scotland. She also talks about Alaska. Her last day is Thursday of next week and I heard they got another man to replace her. Where they find all these male therapist I will never know. She has kids in their 20's. A son in college and a daughter living in Midland with a guy she is dating who is actually her 2nd cousin. Sharon and Julia talk a lot about partying and getting drinks and not in the past tense.
Ilena is the girl in the office who is my go to for scheduling questions.
The speech therapist we don't see a lot of because they are in a different hallway but there is Johnathan who comes to soccer. He can eat ridiculous amounts of food but is not heavy at all. Also he is a hunter which is cool.
Those are the main ones. My last day is in the middle of January so in a month and a half Focus Children's Rehabilitation Center will lose all of their OTAs. Should be interesting for them. I'm glad I wont be around to see the chaos.
