What a day. I guess it isn't over yet. Social service providers know that Friday afternoon rush that frustrates.

I sat through a crisis with a client who is facing the onset of dementia. The fear and uncertainty is opressive. I can't wrap words around the way it made me feel to see that kind of suffering.

A senior Chinese couple came in for some counsel and were very excited when they saw the last name on my card. Imagine the confusion when I showed up. The wife is depressed and it broke my heart.

Today it felt like all the Claremonts in Senior (that's right) descended on the center in search of, inevitably, me.

On a day like today, I feel tired, very tired. But good and needed. It is quite nice.

Tonight I will comfort myself with 7 course of Beef, Vietnamese style.

And there is the phone. I'm serious.
