Yesterday, not last night, but the night before was rough. One of the residents threw a temper tantrum from two thirty in the morning till well after seven. It was rough, but luckily the new girl Katie showed a backbone and really helped me out so I didn't get stuck dealing with the whole thing myself. which was a relief because she was doing her best to run us ragged so that we would stop trying to get her to calm down and act her age and just give her what she wanted when she wanted it.
However did have one good thing happen that night. The last time I had worked with Katie her sister had come out to her and her sister was having a bit of a freak out. Katie didn't quite know how to take it beyond 'oh, that makes a lot of sense' and 'how do I treat her now' I told her to treat her the same as she always has, that her sister really hasn't change. Then we worked together again and I asked her how her sister was. She seemed surprised that I brought it up. Katie does know I'm gay. She said her sister is denying the whole thing and saying she was just really drunk, but that she thinks her sister is just in denial. I'd brought in a book for her, a type of Q and A book about glbt issues and she looked over it for a good hour and would like me to bring it in again.
Last night I worked with Sherri...and well she was the only one of the new people I hadn't come out to and I did. I also brought Rent in and we watched part of it, but not all so she asked me to bring it in again. Which is great. I so don't object to bringing Rent to work.
The Diversity Task Force meeting was today and I brought in the article about the Kentucky student and we talked about the goals and focus we wanted to have for the group. We're also going to be spending the summer gathering information, but not meeting again until late August, early September. Once again I was the only student.
When I got out of school I went and gave blood. Wooziness is slightly amusing.
This is my week to feel like awful and so far no depression at all. So the birth control is working, mostly. Still have some of the other things, like the exhaustion and the being cold. Except I'm not shaking cold like I usually am, it actually managable for once.
I think that's it. One long update because a lot happened, but I was going sleeping is of the good.
