Woke up at 6:30, had coffee, and biked to work.
Went to Mandt training for a few hours, which is training on how to manage crisis situations.
Learned how to release myself from holds.
Went back to the Salcido.
Met John for lunch at the Poverello, the shelter. Shared a lovely meal over meatloaf.
Tried subtly to avoid a client who hasn't bathed in a month and kept sitting down beside me.
Watched a woman spend her first 24 hours after being raped on our couch.
Listened to a woman's story about becoming homeless after her husband died.
Picked up a clean load of laundry.
Was asked by a client if I had any vodka on me.
Had someone drop off sandwiches left over from a picnic.
Listened to two clients get in a fight over capitalism vs. socialism.
Listened to a story of how someone became an alcoholic.
Listened to someone whose fiancee just broke up with him because he drank too much.
Cleaned. Cleaned. Cleaned.
Forgot to lock our patio.
Came home to a lovely meal of leftover vegetable soup revamped with rice and turkey that Karen had cooked.
Watched The Informant.
Passed out asleep.
So that's what I do when I'm not baking bread. Long day. Luckily, yesterday I went to Helena and for Carroll College's homecoming. I hadn't been to a live football game in forever, and it was great fun!

whoa. beats my Friday. I do get to host our dear sister this coming one, though.
What were the main sticking points of capitalism vs. socialism, I wonder?
