When I arrived at the Birch Street Nursing Home this morning, I was surprised to find a few of the patients outside, wandering the grounds. I asked Mrs Henley what they were doing, but she was confused and couldn't tell me. It wasn't until I heard Mrs. Patterson yelling at Mr. Pearlman to check under the bushes that I realized what was going on. Mrs. Patterson had brought them out to search for the spot where Mrs. Shimshack had hidden her missing jeweled brooch. It took me quite a while to coax them all back inside. When I finally did, I found a note from the head nurse at the top of my list of chores, telling me she needed me to also work tomorrow because she suddenly came into a little money and decided to take the other nurses on vacation to a casino to gamble it. She left me not only the ten dollars for each day, but, as a thank-you, an extra five dollars for my services.
