hypocrisy

after my effusive praise of sleep and healthy habits yesterday i proceeded to stay up until 1:30 am watching all 6 episodes of "the book of negroes".  my practical living has not yet reached my ideal ok.  i have my weaknesses ok.  

i didn't fare too badly because i didn't have to work until 10:30 this morning.  i did an in person social.  my first one since the start of covid.  it was a picnic and only 6 people were allowed to come.  i enjoyed shopping for the picnic meal.  mary, my coworker for the night wanted blt sandwiches so i obliged her but on a whim bought prosciutto instead of bacon and baked it until crisp.  we had cherries and watermelon and chips and juice boxes.  it was nice to sit in the shade and chat with each other.  mary droned on about how she was  an empath.  lol. i'm obviously not one.

today i met with my 2 staff who work with young people.  they are doing a focus group and i went over with them good ways to facilitate conversations with youth.  we had a new member in who is in her 20s.  it was her first day and she told me that this was the first mental health place she has been to that treats her like a human.  that was nice to hear.

i have a lot of vacation time to use up.  i was making a plan and i have to take at least a week off every month that is left of the year.  ..more than that. 

night.
