Took Vanessa to yoga yesterday morning and was at work a few minutes late. M. was already there. Worked on the grant some more. Only got about 4 pages done yesterday. I'm going to have to ramp it up soon. Of course, it involves asking other people questions and waiting for their answers some. At our weekly staff meeting, we talked about record-keeping and measurable outcomes. The fact that we "served" 365 people is not an outcome. We just don't know how many people moved into housing--mostly because they don't come to us once they're doing well. The ones that stay at the shelter are easier, but we serve a lot of people in the community who are at other shelters and "unsheltered" through the Job TREC program. We give them bus passes, cab vouchers, work uniforms, tools, IDs and other things to help them find and keep employment. Also education.

Had oatmeal for breakfast and was hungry by 10. Went to Big City Bread and got a great blackberry muffin and a club sandwich for lunch. At 3, I went to a meeting because M. was at a different meeting. At 4, picked Ray up and headed home. Started the mac & cheese, but didn't get far. Watched two episodes of Star Trek and worked on Ray's vest. One of the armholes I made is too small, so I took it out to start over. I am not sure how to pick up more stitches, but I guess I can make two in one hole. Slept pretty well, but I am getting excited about our trip this weekend to the beach and seeing my children and other relatives.
