Many churches

One of the things I think is neat about Mexia is that there are so many churches. In a 5 block radius near where I live there are like 9 different churches. On my way to work I pass about 4 more!

There is the First Presbyterian Church...
La Iglesia Camino...
The First Christian Church...
La Iglesia Jesucristo es Mi Refugio...
La MisiĆ³n Pentecostal...
The Temple Baptist Church...
The Methodist Church...
The Christ Episcopal Church...
The First Baptist Church...
And a Mosque!
Just kidding. That isn't a mosque at all. It is just City Hall. But I thought it was an interesting building. I also though some of these old houses were interesting...






the end!

I should probably stop talking out loud to myself at work

Friday was a really slow day at work. I was 1 of 2 people in the habilitation department there that day. Everyone else was off for the 4th of July. There were a couple of people that I needed to watch eat and evaluate over at the Martin unit. I walked over but people were getting tube fed and there wasn't anything for me to do right then, so I walked back to office. I kind of have this habit of talking to myself and getting lost in my thoughts. As I walked I must have been in that place because all of the sudden I heard one of the residents call out to me, "hey are you okay?"

I turned to see an old white haired man, waving at me. He asked again if I was ok. "Yes, thank you!" What does that mean when the intellectually challenged and mentally ill begin to ask you if you are ok when they catch you talking to yourself?
