This week has included a Federal holiday, so I only went to work Monday & Wednesday. The workload decreased a bit Monday when a child I'd worked with for five (5) years became an adult (numerically) & left our agency's purview. Today I helped a co-worker move two youngsters (one I work with, the other her client) to a new placement which we feel is a very positive step for both. :) I'll have a new client child to succeed the one who went home; no doubt there'll be interesting times to follow while I become familiar with him & his family. Such is the nature of working with human beings under the age of 18!
Happily, I also spent a good bit of Q-time (Q for "quality," of course!) with my daughters yesterday. We came up with some clever, appropriate gifts for family members with only a few suggestions from a co-worker who's doing like most of us & tearing her hair out trying to create rather than spend a fortune this holiday season. She graciously loaned us a special cookbook for the purpose, which has solved four Christmas gift quandries thus far & may yet solve quite a few more. :D
There's no feeling quite like having most of your Christmas shopping done before turkey day & sending out Christmas cards!
