I woke up to three, 22 year old men in my house. They gathered around the table and I put out muffins and doughnuts. I made one special yummy coffee with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and peppermint flakes.
We chatted for about a half hour and I was in pure bliss. I heard about the one friend’s family drama. I decided I was a pretty good mom compared to the crap this kid went through. Turns out this lady had multiple kids with multiple men and custody of none. Never a good sign.
I went to work and was able to help a patient by getting information together and direct them how to get into a specialist the quickest way. I felt good about helping them. I felt frustrated for them watching their painful pet. I hope it gets seen quickly for everyone’s sake. The owners were feeling rather helpless and just wanted to make their friend comfortable.
After work I had lunch with a friend. We saw a man parading around our little town in a turkey outfit.
He was spreading joy and cheer. He was talking to all the people and waving at the traffic. A real kindness spreader.
When I got home, I took a nap with Jiminy for a little bit. He so much enjoys snuggling close. He is a great napping partner.
Paul and I then met up with 3 and a half couples (one guy came alone…it isn’t as perverted as it sounds) to plan snowmobiling trips for this winter. I didn’t go on this trip last year. It’s not as much fun when you are crippled and can’t ride. But a good point was made that if I go, I can bring the dogs. I am heavily considering it.
We had a fun evening of visiting. There was LOTS of laughing! Friendship is the best medicine AND it doesn’t have a co-pay. I have felt stressed this week with our software change, Ethan and I being a little under the weather, and worrying about Ethan’s stupid mass.. Tonight made me forget about all of it. I needed that break.
