Is it only Tuesday? OMG I can't wait until the 2nd of July. That's when my newest client goes home, maybe. This is one of the hardest clients I've dealt with in a long time.
But all is not bad. Today I got to do one of my Zumba DVD's and go for a mile run. My daytime client wanted to play a board game that allowed me time to exercise. Yeah!
Also the state wants my clients to go swimming 3 nights a week and take water aerobics 2x a week. Since I have to supervise them, I'll get in plenty of exercise swimming. I get paid to have fun plus give my body a chance to burn calories and tone my arms.
This week I love my job. Next week might be a different story altogether.................

Hola from big time storm Mexico!! I have to ask, what do you do, care for older folks? I was an in-home companion to a number of older ladies over the years in the USA, along with nursing and P.T. How cool, having to swim as part of your job. Super!!!

You look so good and are such an encouragement.
Hugs, Charlene :)

Hi C.,

You know it is the most difficult clients that help us appreciate the rest of them. Many moons ago, I used to visit clients at home too. The worst ones were the ones who had dementia and did even know I had been there 10 minutes after I left. That was hard! Stay strong lady. Enjoy the swimming.

As long as you like it for one week,Claudia, you're ahead of the game. It's when you don't like it even for one week that you're in trouble! I like mine right now....it's holding down this chair so it don't get away from my computer!!!! Bwahahahaha! I've walked twice this week. Pretty good for me. I didn't go this morning. It was already over 80 by 6 am and there isn't a breath of wind out there....nope,uhuh...no walking today!
Love ya!

I do daycare out of my home, some days I wouldn't change my job for the world and then there are other days that are like"can everyone stop saying my name and needing me" such is life. i too, take the kdis to the pool each day. the only exercise in that is my neck is skinny from constantly keeping track of where they are. So I would like to head back out at least once a week in the evening to swim laps in the adult only pool. it is inigorating as all get out, don't you think?
