Day 16: For Lack of a Better Title

I love Fridays. I think it spills over from my youth, knowing that Friday was the last school day of the week and you had 2 days of freedom ahead of you.
Today, I had 3 OT sessions. Solomiya stayed at home with Tato and I left at 10:15am to catch the #7 into town.
The first session was okay, but frankly, I feel like I'm not doing much there. I think that if I had a private OT space that people came to for treatment, that it would work much better for this particular client. There is just a lot of tension between the main caregiver and I about the best way to treat this person and I don't want to to step on their toes because first, I'm in their home and second, they are with this client 24 hours a day. We'll see what happens- I think I may talk with them next week.
The second session went well and they gave me hot tea and a piece of apple cake before I left. The third session was also good and they gave me a huge bag of apples from their tree to take home, as well as two jars of homemade jam.

Mike and Solomiya ended up meeting the team from the A 21 Campaign in town for lunch, so I met them there and was able to meet the team (3 young women) and have a chance to talk with them. The main leader of A 21 is an American, but these girls were all Ukrainians from Kiev. They have been working with and traveling for A 21 for three years; they have a presentation that lets people know about the reality/severity of human trafficking and what A 21 is all about. Awesome ladies.
We walked back home after this; Solomiya fell asleep; I made a quick stop at Cilpo and Rodina Kolbasa for dinner stuff; I cooked dinner; Mike's students both cancelled the English lesson this evening; we ate dinner; played with Solomiya (she is becoming quite silly- it's a lot of fun); watched a few episodes of Masha & the Bear; Solomiya went to bed; Mike and I watched an episode of the old Sherlock Holmes series on YouTube. The end.

Tomorrow- bright and early OT session (I have to leave at 9:30am; leaving early has become much harder with having a little one); Mike is helping our friend Rudolf move bricks after I get home; I need to find a button for my jacket (I lost it somewhere today...); Solomiya and I must buy diapers from the diaper lady at the bazaar.
