A Good Mood Kind of Day

Barb,

You're really challenging me, here.  Immediate response the following morning?  :)

Today was a good day.  We had very few staff and almost all of our patients.  This made for a busy and fun (if a little stressful) morning that flew by.  I got to and from work just fine in what a Los Angeles news station referred to as "Snowmageddon".  I laughed my ass off when JB texted that to me; clearly, they have never been east of the Rockies.  My trusty little Prius served me well.

I spent the afternoon dinking around on Pinterest and Houzz (since I'm obsessed with the decorating project) and on the phone with my new interior designer.  This is kind of funny, really: my friend/neighbor, RP, (who is actually very good friends with SA, and lives across the street from CC and BroJ but has managed to avoid them for the past seven years - on purpose) put out a little note on FB a few weeks ago.  She's ready to go back to work now that her boys are in school. She asked for career suggestions and was instantly barraged with replies that she ought  to get into interior decorating.  Somewhere in the discussion, she asked "Who would hire me?" at which point, I became her first "client".   She's very fun and eclectic, and she's a stellar bargain shopper (which I am definitely not).  I chose a $400 rug for JJ's game room and she dismissed me before I could even show her the picture.  Apparently, she's capable of finding the same thing for a quarter of the price.  Sweet!

When JJ and his buddies got bored with the snow (and they were soaked to the bone) I made popcorn and sat with them to watch some horrific teenage-boy movie, the title of which I immediately erased from my mind. It involved much shooting and girls in Spandex.  Still, it was fun to spend a couple of hours with them, not minding me being there.  I'll take what I can get.

I'm heading to bed now...before midnight tonight.  Still struggling with a cough and not feeling 100% well from my pre-Christmas cold.  Hope you're week is going well too!

Love you,
A
