Day 15 – October 25^th

More training today. Christen is an excellent teacher. She is easy to talk to and very approachable to ask questions. She never gets exasperated with any question posed to her regardless of how dumb or how many times it’s been asked. The big picture of my job is coming more into focus and I’m starting to see the flow or procedure and processes better.

When I walked into my room when I got out of work, I almost smacked into a wardrobe left just inside the door. I was so excited; I suddenly had energy to burn. I started rearranging my bed so together with the wardrobe; a privacy barrier could be formed.

I turned the bed 90 degrees off the wall, leaving 2-3 feet between the bed and wall that the door is on. I switched out my nightstand for the empty beds. It was taller, opened easier and had different height drawers. The wardrobe I placed at the end of the bed, facing out to the room and just far enough into the room that the door cleared it when opened. I tacked one flannel sheet from the back corner of the wardrobe closest to the door, to the wall near the hinges of the door. That is now the cave door. Then I tacked the other flannel sheet from the other back corner of the wardrobe along the full length of my bed to the wall I turned my bed off of. I am now completely enclosed in a cave of flannel. It is cozy and perfect.

I offered half of my wardrobe to Tressa. She declined thinking she would be moving from the ghetto room at some point.
