Feeling pretty sick now--congestion and coughing. Taking medicine. I was trying to leave work about one, but it was two before I got away, picked up Ray. did not play Racquetball.

I am mostly caught up at work now. Staff meeting--nothing much to report, talked about paid holidays. I was about 10 minutes late this morning--Ray was running late and we took Vanessa to her yoga class. I hate to make her late. Sometimes I'm early. Mostly there is not much going on, but there were two people waiting for paychecks, even though they usually get direct deposit, and a phone call from a board member. One of the residents was fussing at me again. I am afraid she is going to have a full nervous breakdown. She drinks way too much coffee and is really on edge these days. In particular, she and another resident are not getting along. Kerri was going to meet with both of them last night--we'll see how that went. We are not running a therapeutic program and not doing counseling. I wish she would put as much energy into working. When she is working, she really saves money. But she has trouble keeping a job because "people don't treat her right." The last one she had she quit because she thought they were going to fire her. Sigh. I wrote some thank you notes and responded to questions about one of my reimbursement requests.

Last Arabic class last night--three of us. I couldn't help thinking about how I would have taught the class differently. We were finally doing what we might have done at the first class, learning basic phrases like please and thank you. I will not remember any of it unless I review it often. I am not likely to run into anyone who speaks Arabic here, not that I could have a conversation with them if I did.

Ray made supper early, so I could get to class. I watched a small amount of TV and went to bed, with medicine. I slept pretty well, although I have been waking up every couple hours for a few nights now. No energy for cooking or anything.
