i have finished my second week at OP TBI. It is interesting and entertaining and i am enjoying it at this point. as long as i don't run out of things to do i should stay happy. i teach a few classes a week and go on activities with the different people each day and mostly i just keep an eye on people and help them cope with their days.
Thursday we were supposed to go on an outing but a storm built up over our lunch hour and when it was time to board the bus the storm hit with force. it was a beautiful storm to watch. a little hail, lightning, HEAVY rains and wind.
the radio was on and for the duration of the storm, almost an hour, it reported severe storm warnings and the occasional tornado watch. sirens went off as warnings for people in the Richfield area and i just watched the whole thing go over us. i love storms.
i was lucky enough to see another storm last night. a lot of the same but it didn't hit the area here by our home as bad as the previous storm.
what i find the most fascinating is how the day can go from beautiful and bright to dark and foreboding. i love a good storm. carl and i were inside a Dave's bbq when the storm rolled in yesterday. the news had already been reporting on the severity of this storm. a couple of tornadoes had touched down in areas Northwest from us so I was expecting the worst. as we ate i kept watching the storm and mentioning the sky to carl, tracy, and jessica but carl said it looked dark because the windows had plastic over them. it wasn't so. it looked dark because huge thunderstorms were coming in. carl believed me once the sky turned green. we hurried home at that point because our windows were open. no damage, thankfully.
