I wish I would have read your comment before now...I hadn't even thought of asking her to give me a ride. I was done with lunch prep. by 1 or so and could have gotten to most of it.
On the other hand, just hanging out in the dining room (they have couches in there and I was catching up on some reading) gave me a chance to talk with a resident who'd hurt his eye pretty badly thanks to a gas line in the house he and his father were gutting. He said Ryan up at CG had given him a ride to the doctor's...do you know Ryan? Anyway, this man and I had a long discussion on weather. It's cold here but not as cold as it is in Maryland, and he really likes Louisiana summers (as swelteringly hot as they are).
I'm thoroughly enjoying what I'm doing here. There's more time to get to know the residents. It's much more personal that way. It's like home. There's no reason to be scared. (But just try telling my grandma that.)
