My Degrees Are Going To Keep Me Warm

I just started my new job at SEARHC on Monday. Went to orientation then got a tour of Raven's Way. Was introduced to a bunch of people who's names I forgot. Then was handed an envelope with a bunch of paperwork to read and sign. The next day I pretty much did the same thing just over a longer period of time. Then they pretty much sent me on my way and said good luck.

So here I am on the first night of working graveyard. I don't know who any of the kids are but I'm sure I'll meet them in the morning. Got here an hour early to have Jenny show me how to count meds. Then I hung out with her and Jared while they did some paperwork. It was nice having them here to kind of calm me down a bit, even though they didn't know it. After they left I felt a little scared but luckily the kids were pretty much settled and falling asleep.

Around 1am I started making the french toast...I think I messed it up. I just followed the recipe (minus an ingredient that I couldn't find) but after reading Rach's book it was totally different. We'll see how it goes in a couple hours when I finally cook it. Every now and then I have to go upstairs with a flashlight and make sure the kids are in bed. I feel kind of like a creeper. Off to do some creepin...
