Mixed Enthusiasm

This needs an explanation. The assisted living facility where I live was affected by a terrific hurricane in this portion of Florida. Fortunately our building in St. Petersburg was not damaged but 3 of their other facilities were. Consequently four hundred elderly are sleeping in our hallways for a few days (Only 4 toilettes available) Precious(her real name) is the major entertainment member. Yesterday she arranged an exercise class for the new guests under trying conditions. The guests are sleeping on cots and some on plastic lawn lounge chairs. The class, held in the cafeteria was prior to breakfast.

Thus is great. Quite a range of emotions on display here.

Wonderful candid moment, Neil. Very nice of Precious to give it her all but, under the circumstances, it a wonder anyone is awake. Glad you and the visitors are safe if a bit, or more, uncomfortable. BV

It's a great shot and an interesting diverse character study. Your title is perfect for what sounds like trying circumstances. I'm glad that you and your building are okay and hope for a relatively quick return to normalcy.

What an amazing scene of survival under adversity. Glad you are OK, and so neat to see what Precious is doing to help out. The varied expressions really tell a story. Terrific documentary shot.

Hurricane Ian sounds terrible. I hope things get back to normal for you as soon as possible.

I think Precious has a difficult job ! The body language says is all !! Glad to hear your facility wasn't too badly damaged.
