I'm doing good, it has only been a couple days since my last post. And it has been a very choatic couple days for sure! I was expecting sunday to be pretty chill and have some time to kind of decompress from the crazy week but I knew that was blown when we went to wake the travelers up and one of them had had an accident sometime in the night but was too embarassed to tell anyone. He was trying to take care of it himself but it was bad. I made a couple trips to and from the train station but no train rides for me. The traffic was terrible partly because of a music festival that has been in town and partly just because it is getting busier as it gets warmer here. Cleaning should have gone nice and smooth and quick, but of course it did not. After cleaning, grocery store and Sam's we finally sat down about 8pm. I had the scarriest ride in the van. My poor co-worker, one from England, is not comfortable driving the van and almost killed us all...a couple times. She was so nervous and we were so freaked out, it had to of been terrible for her too. But we made it back alive and in one peice. I got a traveler in Sunday night (trips end on sunday and new one begins on monday). His luggage had gotten lost on the way and he had somehow misplaced half of his money. He is suppose to have a c-pap machine but decided not to bring it and wants to spend all of his time talking on his phone. Lovely! His luggage was delivered about 2am this morning, luckily I was not the one that was up to get it. We did get to sleep in a little bit which was nice.
The best word I have to describe today is interesting. All my guys (I seem to always have the guys in the group) were here relatively early and they got settled in before most everyone else arrived. This group is a lot lower functioning than the last and it will be interesting to see how all of the staff deals with everything. I'm not sure anyone's information packet was the correct information and there are a lot more issues with almost every traveler than was given to us. This makes our lives difficult. It has been storming almost all day and we thought it had cleared up enough to take everyone on a walk down to the boardwalk but that turned into a disaster. We had one person have an accident before we ever made it there and one staff had to bring her back. Then as soon as we got to the boards it started sprinkling again so we headed back to the house. By the time we got back, we had some very slow walkers, we were soaked. I turned it into a dancing in the rain kind of moment to try to distract everyone from the choas but it was ok. The group this week will be very slow moving and take a lot of interaction. But I am off tomorrow and plan to sleep half the day. Hopefully it will be sunny and I can get some beach time in then my roommate and I, she is off with me, plan on trying to get in a movie and dinner. I am excited for a little bit of relaxation.
