It’s Wednesday, and I arrived to work at about 5 minutes until 8:00am. Coming through the front door, I was immediately welcomed by one of my clients stating that he was leaving on a pass, and that he would return later in the morning. Additionally, a former resident was calling detox at the front desk, and made it very clear that he was interested in returning to the Mission. As I was carrying my bicycle up one flight of stairs to the chapel floor office, I overheard the following announcement over the loudspeaker: “Good morning, Kingston House! Your weather forecast for the morning is clear skies with a high of 77. Prayer group will begin immediately in the dining room.” (as a note, announcements made over the P.A. system are typically strictly business, so this was HILARIOUS). At 9:15am, as is my custom when I work the morning shift, I headed to Deli One (formerly the Kingston Deli) for cornbread and bacon – and you thought Wheaties was the breakfast of champions. For $3, it can’t be beat.
At 10am, I led a discussion about sobriety – what is it, how do we get it, how do we keep it – with 14 residents. It was a co-ed group, and ended up being fairly productive, as far as groups go.
At lunch, there was a conversation revolving around cows pointing towards North and South (2/3 of cattle supposedly do this). We also discussed the probability of being able to kill a moose with one shot, if the moose was angry and charging.
