"Night's Getting Longer With You On My Mind..."
*cries* I had the awfullest, awfullest day at work to-day. Was not the fault of any of my people, incidentally, was the personnel. Was just. Was just.
I was expecting rather a low-key day to-day: there was nothing important scheduled, and Kim was supposed to be there, and I didn't think I should have much trouble, really. Unfortunately, Kim called in sick and Linda was only in long enough to tell me that I was on my own and then go off. So it was me, all by myself, all day long.
*hides*
Also, Kim (despite what I had told her twice last week) watered the plants, so the 16:15 activity had to cancelled (it involves bringing the plants around on a cart to everyone and letting them water the plants and tend to them and it's really very nice, but it rather requires that the plants not be drowning in half an inch of water. Linda was livid)--I had to improvise instead.
There was no participation for the 14:00 activity, so I ended up loading everything onto a cart and going around to rooms instead, except that then it ended up running overtime, and I had hardly time enough to get to the 16:15 activity. I nearly forgot to deliver mail, I got out fifteen minutes late (which made Mum Very Annoyed) and I kept wanting to go and hide and burst into tears somewhere, but I didn't.
I also helped Katy get her telephone numbers sorted out and rather a lot of things--it turns out the person with Power of Attorney for her and for her husband lives in Lancaster, and she doesn't know his telephone number, so I've promised to look it up at the library for her and bring it to her as soon as possible.
I made far too many promises to-day, and left three undone.
But I think I understand what it was about Rebecca that made everyone love her. I think I understand what she did and how she was so strong. I think I will try to do that.
I miss her so much. *hides face in hands*
...Anna is better, though. She says she feels better every day.
