A Somewhat Productive Day

I finally tackled a stack of mail today and spent some time organizing my brief case papers. We had a very hot day in Southern California, and I believe that contributed to the fact that police were called to two of my business locations. In Rialto, California, the police were called to assist in getting a consumer under control who was upset when he saw that an old couch was being removed from the building. The State Dept. of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division required that it be removed from the building, because in their opinion, it was a cloth material and not sanitary. The developmentally disabled young man who liked to sit on it was outraged when he saw it sitting next to the dumpster. He began attacking personnel immediately after he arrived at the day program. In Lakeside, California a consumer who was recently released from jail became agitated when he was asked to leave the classroom. He became violent and attacked several personnel. The police were called to that site. They waited for the PERT team to arrive and transported him to a psychiatric hospital. He was a member of a street gang prior to going to jail, and had started showing signs of getting involved in gang activity again. Our director of his residential group home is requesting an emergency discharge from our facility from the CCL Department of the State of California.

Dana and Carson came by after they attended a "Mommy and Me" session. Dana needed to sign some documents to change the listing price of their home in North Carolina.

I took several phone calls, ordered some more chairs for the Rialto, California site and wrote a contract for our equestrian training component in Lakeside. As usual, most of my time was spent on the telephone and the internet taking care of business.

Jerry made a deposit in our bank and went to the post office to mail several letters for me. It is really helpful when he makes deposits, buys supplies for our house and picks up the mail.

My granddaughter, Leanne, is supposed to return from camp today. I hope she had a good time.

Jerry has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's Disease. Yeah, that's an "eye opener." Isn't it? I will talk more about it, I'm sure, but not now.
