The Monster Mash

Today was a day with less scheduled duties, but I still kept plenty busy!

We had two new residents come in this past week, and I had to meet with them to go through initial paperwork with them.  

Our activity director had also organized a wonderful Halloween party, complete with fun costumes for the residents and live music.  

Staff had been invited to dress up, too, but I hadn't gotten around to ironing my jack-o-lantern costume, which I've had since we made it in grade school.  

Sr. Elaine, though, had worn her traditional costume, dressing as a neat bum - or royal knight of the road - as she refers to the role.  

We actually got our residents out dancing, and I had to ditch the sweater I had tied around my waste because it wouldn't stay in place.  

Sr. Elaine had fun with this, too, especially with "The Monster Mash."  

I even caught her on video!  

This afternoon was a breath of fresh air after some stressful days!
