Evening couch. I had a pretty good day.

Working with C at his dad's (where I am now on Wed. afternoons) is even easier than the senior place. All I do at C's dad is feed him when he is hungry, limit his fluid intake (he has accidents if he drinks too much), have him use the bathroom every so often, socialize a little bit with him, and watch TV with him. His mom's is also easy, but there I have to run academic and occupational programs.

The senior place I am kind of like a "maid" in addition to a caregiver. I have light housekeeping tasks to do there, bu nothing has ever taken me more than an hour. Emptying the dishwasher, moving clothes from the washer to the dryer, folding clothes after they are dry, and vacuuming (never all the same day) are not hard jobs.

I have the day off tomorrow for the holiday. Then it's back to work on Friday, Sunday, Monday. I was supposed to have T on Monday, but I rescheduled because the senior place asked if I could work that day before I went to C's. T normally only works Mon and Tues, but she said she had a couple other appointments Wed morning next week and offered me one that day. She advised against waiting until the following week to reschedule to. I think she is worried to let me go more than 2 weeks after my "freak out" not long ago.
