The head nurse at the Birch Street Nursing Home contacted Grandmother Friday morning, telling her that she and the other nurses decided to make it a four-day holiday weekend, and she asked if I'd be willing to work not only Saturday, but Friday afternoon and Sunday too. Grandmother told her I would do it for holiday pay, so I went back to the Birch Street Nursing Home around noon on Friday and stayed there until this morning, making twenty dollars each day instead of the usual ten. It was my first time staying over at the nursing home, and I slept in the vacant room that was last used by Crystal and her friends Angel and Cinnamon. Mr. Matthews told me that room had a terrible draft, and that if I wanted to, I could stay with him in his room. I told him I packed a heavy blanket. The other patients were thrilled I was spending the weekend because it meant playing lots more poker.
