Owwwwwch!!
So this hasn't happened in a LONG time. I was crouching down to pick up some puppy pee pee papers & went to stand back up & my knee popped & caught and gave out. The same one that has given me problems since I tore cartilige in HS trying to march giant steps across the football field.. I couldn't move it for a few seconds it hurt so much. Now I can move it, but it's still throbbing and feels like it's going to go out again. Maybe it's time to go back to the knee doc. Just what I need, more medical bills to worry about. At least I've met my freekin' deductible with insurance by placing ONE order for insulin pump supplies. $400 of my hard earned money gone. But that's another rant.
Today has been rainy & gross, actually, it's been like this since yesterday, and promises to be the same tomorrow. Great. I'm all for rainy days, Lord knows we need it. But Nicole doesn't do so well with rainy days. I'm actually surprised I haven't cried yet today, given what's happened.
First, last Friday I took a sick day. Wasn't feelin' that great, my back has been screwey and my brain just needed a break for my own mental health. Well, I turned off my phones to sleep and turned them back on and had all these messages about needing the on call phone back at the office, because the clinical wanted it to take over being on call at 5pm so they wont have to pay me, Amanda & Wendy extra for doing it. Well, I didn't get the messages till like 1.5-2 hours later, and W (supervisor) was frantic and so upset by it and events aroud this ordeal and others, that she said she had resigned. I don't know the whole story.. shit has been going on with her for about the entire summer. So, I called back finally & then they ask me to be on call all weekend. They wanted the damn phone so bad they considered sending a community support staff TO MY HOUSE TO WAKE ME UP to get it. WTF?? Then I get there Monday & hear that it wasn't that big of a deal, just miscommunication.. blah blah blah. I don't know who to believe. And, W did give resignation but will work for 6-8 more weeks. So, next in line supervisor, D, asks to talk to me and says he and the big boss, M, don't know what this will mean for Intensive In Home Services (my program) because it's never been able to stay fully staffed, and is so intense and basically the "problem child" of the agency. Despite the fact that we do good work. So, he's all like "we don't want to lose you, we're willing to work with you (If this happens) to keep you at Daymark. He even went so far as to say that maybe they could create a positiion that stems from Intensive InHome and individual/family therapy. I don't know if tht would really fly in that I'm not licensed, but if YO could bundle it as extra special community support, maybe Daymark could too, until I'm "license elligible" (after passing my exam in November, because I AM going to pass, dammit!!" I'd been expecting this news since Friday when W said she was leaving. It's all speculation now, it could be that the big wigs like our program and keep it, who the heck knows.
THEN, as if that wasn't bad enough, after a screaming family session with my pixie girl in King, I'm driving back to the Daymark lot to switch out cars (it's still raining) and was behind a big truck that was trying to get on 52 and doing it slowly. So, to avoid slamming on breaks, I looked, didn't see anyone beside me, and switched lanes. Oh, there was someone there and I smashed into her. Luckily, I wasn't going too fast, I think she was.. but it knocked the side mirror of the car and scratched it a little on the side. I don't think did much to her car. But, I had to call work and tell them. Thank goodness they were not nasty about it, as I expected. Wanted to make sure I was ok, wanted the paperwork and that was it. Even joked about it, saying that it was past time for this car to get messed up, cuz all the others had already. Go figure. The PO said it was my fault, but didn't write me a ticket.. I wonder if one will come in the mail, of if fault just has to be placed to have insurance pay for stuff!? Anyone know?
It's time to go meet Alice for some Mayberry's floppy chips & hot fudge sundaes, if I can walk, that is. More about the reunion, Sienna & other life stuff later.
