Got an email from an old friend who used to work for me letting me know how much she missed me. She went on to let me know how much she respected the job I had done back when I was her boss because she is in a similar management position now. Her quote to me was, "How in the hell did you keep a smile on your face and keep your cool for all those years when dealing with all of these bullshit issues and the pressure? Things always ran so smoothly when you were in charge."

I'm sure she was just blowing a bit of smoke up my ass so she can maybe have a place to stay when she's back in Iowa in a couple of weeks but it sure felt nice to get at least a nod of thanks from her.

Chatting away to the residents at the care home today, and spending a while explaining to one with quite advanced demensia why she was here, where "here" was, who runs it and that we love having her there.
It's better than the days where I have to explain to her that her parents died a long time ago.

serious retail therapy

A little beagle puppy that was barking at me while I took a walk early this morning. I stopped, crouched down and called him and he ran over to let me pet him.

Cute little shit, sort of reminded me of my old buddy Sarge.

That^^^^.

Thinking about the excuses people make to justify not doing what they can do to achieve their goals.

Knowing that my washing machine will be fixed today. Yes I am easily amused.
