A Few Things

Yesterday I started my day frustrated because a family that I am so close to getting to the goal of number of home visits cancelled.  And then that frustration led to frustration about not having a hiking plan for Saturday. I did not feel like hiking alone, but I'd already hiked with the friends who I thought would be up for a long hike (or they were busy/out of town).  Today however

#1 - That same family did their visit, and if we can just get a 1/2 hour visit in next week, they will reach goal!

#2 - I asked a friend to hike that hiked with me 2 weeks ago (so I doubt would want to again), but she is in!

#3 - I did my final visit with a family that I've worked with 2 school years - the full length of the program.  This is my 3rd program year at this job, but I started mid year, so the first time I've worked with a family the full 2 school years. When the mom arrived home with her older/elementary aged child she told me he had said, "Hurry up!!

 I don't want to miss M_____'s teacher!"

#4 - The mother took a couple super cute photos which she remembered to send to me.

#5 - Not only did I buy groceries a day or 2 early (I usually go Sat/Sun), I made dinner.  I rarely cook on Fridays.  I also bought so many delicious things - green beans, kale, asparagus, strawberries, a mango, an avocado, salmon, cream cheese, bagel, sprouts, mochi ice cream, sparkling water (watermelon mint - which is a gamble as I don't typically like watermelon flavor)...
