Dear Diary,
I have to admit to be just a little nervous while waiting for our new resident. Mr Smith had sent me a letter telling me that he believed I was ready for the unique set of challenges that this patient would bring. I wonder if he thinks this has all just been a walk in the park so far!
I didn't have to wait long. Our new resident came striding in...
...like he owned the place.
I was just starting to introduce myself when he said, "Well, jerk what have you to say about yourself." I was stunned!
It got worse, before I could even think of
a come back what to say next he launched into a full blown slanging match. Told me what he'd be doing and what I'd be doing... and how things were going to be a lot different now he was here...
Umm, yeah, not my best photo. I was pretty stunned tho', in my defence.
Once Colt had finished yelling I managed to get a few words in. I just stated facts, told him about the rules, the bathroom facilities... you know.
Actually, thinking back, that's when he started to laugh, well more of a sort of chuckle that had dark undertones to it. He told me that everyone else would, from now on, be using bathroom facilities else where as he now had full rights to the facilities here. I was in the middle of explaining why that wouldn't happen...
...when I decided to use a different tactic. After all his eyes had glazed over and I knew he wasn't listening to a thing I said.
However, Colt took that as an invitation to brawl. I tried to put him off, after all... I can't go fighting the people I'm supposed to be helping.
I was a bit fired up and the idea of smushing his smug face was kinda appealing.
Anyway, Colt took the situation out of my control by launching himself at me.
I managed to get him into a headlock with the intention of calming things down a little.
I'm sure I could have had him if he hadn't used that darn karate chop at the end. What the heck! I haven't seen action like that since the last Jackie Chan movie.
Next thing I know we're both laughing.
Then Colt grabs me and gives me a hug!
We stood talking for a few minutes until I noticed his attention had wandered again. Then I gave him the 'hands off the girls' chat. Must remind the girls to stop wandering around in their blasted nighties and pj's.
Luckily for me, Colt decided to take it out on the punching bag!
For someone who has no fitness skill he sure has a mean right jab.
And a wicked left hook.
Pearl came upstairs for a chat. As I was busy telling her an unbelievable story, Colt yells over that when she got sick of listening to 'all-talk-and-no-action' over there that he had plenty of action happening. I just snorted.
Then picked my jaw up off the floor when Pearl fell for it!
Alena did a 'Kira'.
Funny thing is Nick didn't even know 'cos he was fast asleep.
We had a laugh about it and I told Alena not to worry too much. She said she'd only gone in there as she couldn't work out what the noise was. Turns out Nick snores! I sorted it with him later.
I've included this photo as this is the moment I maxed my fitness levels and my first aspiration. Woo! Now I can start upcycling the centres rubbishy furniture and make things easier for everyone.
I'll write more later today but for now, I've got some furniture to sort!
Matt.
Colt Brooks has been kindly lent to me
to torture our residents and make my life hell by sdhoey. He really doesn't need any introduction but you can find his amazing Immortal Dynasty story
here. Thank you so much sdhoey, for lending out Colt.
