Today at work, Ben and I swept the floor on both stories, removed nails, and I stripped copper wire. Amadeo, Ben, and I put plywood down as a subfloor on the second story kitchen. At the end of the shift, Mills asked me if I could come in at 10:00am from now on instead of 11, so we can all be there at the same time to get the game plan for the day. I think I can manage that as long as I get to bed and get up one hour earlier. I will have to set my alarms.

                                                         Me all suited up for work.

                                                     The class of workers was there today.

No therapy today because Anya is out visiting her mother. Instead, Caitlin from NAMI is meeting with me to do more case work.

Right now, I am out with the parakeets after having showered. Later, I need to go grocery shopping and put money on my Visa card at Money Mart.

The appointment went great. We worked on a service plan and next Tuesday, we go to LRS intake appointment in Metairie.

Not doing much today. Stayed up until 2 last night and woke up at 7:30. I couldn't sleep past the sunrise, and we were all up late last night.

I took the parakeets outside and fed them bread, lettuce, apples, and millet inside a foraging toy.

Mills came over and I ate apples and oranges. The sprayer hose on the kitchen sink has a hole in it, and water sprays everywhere when you use it. I will ask Shazzad to fix it on Monday.

I have no plans for today and I am kind of bored. Nothing is open today so I will have to find something to do, like maybe go for a walk, ride my bike, go to the store, or go through my Magic cards.

I got up early today and did the morning chores. Dawn got us breakfast from McDonald's. I took my birds outside, got some quarters from the store, them started washing clothes. Actually, Amadeo beat me to it and started the first load of white clothes. We bleached it.
Later, Sam and I are hanging out. There's not much to do today, but it's ok because I am relaxing :)

Today was a GREAT day! :D Ben and I put up siding while Mills went to Lowe's to get some things and exchange the boards for the deck (he needed a longer size than he originally got). We did great! Mills was very pleased with our work, and all the boards were relatively straight. I made sure to get the measurements as close as possible. In face, Mills had me do the measurements since he knew I am so exact with things ;)

Now, I am at The Bean Gallery. Mills was so proud of my hard work, that he gave me $5 in addition to the $120 I got paid, to go enjoy coffee tonight at The Bean Gallery. So here I am, posting this blog from The Bean Gallery and chatting with Dyanis. Thanks Mills! :) I had not been here in a long while. It's great and I like the atmosphere here. I will ask the barista if Sonu can put her artwork up here.

Today at work, I swept up all the rooms and the outside, removed sashes from windows, broke down window frames, and helped Mills put up siding. It was a great day and as usual, Mills, Ben, and I all work great as a team. :) The guy came to pick up the windows today also.

Today marks the one year anniversary of when I moved here. Yay! :) I have one year left until I have to move out of Amadeo's apartment. I am cooking now, and later I will go to the grocery store to pick up some things. After that, I may wash clothes and chat with Dyanis. Then, I will get ready for bed.

I took a shower this morning, then went to work. At work, I removed glass from windows, swept and raked debris from grass, removed nails, used the circular saw, and helped with the deck. We got off early, and I headed to Maik's to play Magic. We had subway, and I am posting this using Maik's Internet connection.
