Day 2
This morning, I arrived at the Senior Center at 8:30, just like yesterday. Lynn began to tell us that the state required that the ingredients of all of the cleaning chemicals they used be listed. She asked us if we could handle this task, and we agreed as she searched through her office for an extra notebook or paper. She ended up giving me money to buy one from CVS, and when I got back, Alexis and I started on our task. In the midst of this task, Deborah, who works at the senior center, asked if either one of us could figure out how to hook up a printer to the computer in the office. She said that the printer had been lying around for a while but they never got to hook it up. I left Alexis to continue listing ingredients, and I successfully hooked up the printer. Frank, who delivers the food for lunch, arrived right when I finished so Lynn, Alexis, Deborah, and I headed over to the kitchen to prepare the food. Today's food was ravioli, so Alexis and I were responsible for bagging slices of bread along with crackers and packets of salad dressing. Once that was done, we headed back into the main room as Lynn began her exercise class, which she asked us to join. The class, consisting entirely of women, was very happy to have us join them, and greeted us with a round of applause. One of the women told me to "Try to keep up", which got a big laugh from everyone including myself. The class was a mix of cardio and weights set to calming music, and I enjoyed participating. After the exercise class was over, we headed back to the kitchen. We proceeded to serve the ravioli with soup, meatballs, and a salad. We washed all of the dishes, and after that, we were done for the day.

Who knew you would need IT (installing a printer) for your senior service. I'm sure they appreciated you setting it up for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat about skyping with grandchildren? You might have them all tweeting before you leave :)
