Work Work Work

Since today is my day back to work, they decide to make it the day with the largest amount of orders. Yeah. . . talk about a stack. The can of Chicken Noodle Soup was used to show just how large it was (Props to Diana :) This takes a loooong time to do. Its very boring. Shout out goes to great musicians in the world who keep my mind occupied and alert. And, well, entertained. I'm gonna throw this out there, you can take it, or throw it back... but I'm very excited for this day at work to be over. Yay for the weekends and not being sick!!!!

The positives of stacks this size:

-I get to stay real busy ALL day

-Company stays in good business

-I can practice creativity in my writing

-It's important to get done asap, which keeps me away from the phones most of the day

PS- the stacks are usually 1/4 this size

Sick Days

I woke up Wednesday morning very sick. I won't go into too many details, but let's just say I really bonded with a good ol' friend. (Note: not my actual toilet) I haven't been this sick in years, so it wasn't very fun. Not like it would make it more fun if it happened more often, but it really made me appreciate the days I am healthy.

Being sick also highlights some of the great friends, and family, I have. Mad props to Lisa Andrews and Diana Lilly for being their amazing selves. Lisa supported me with some Sprite, which tastes MUCH better than water when you're sick. Diana brought over some chicken noodle soup, and a really cool gift. These girls are freakin sweet!! Boys, whoever ends up with either will definitely be the lucky ones!! My mom is amazing as well, providing jello, soup and a movie. Along with a sister who stayed to comfort me. You guys rock.

Today, I am back to work. It's funny how you can still have thoughts in the back of your head wishing you could be sick to not go to work, when in reality you were just REALLY sick and it was completely miserable. . .Oh well. On my way to 100% recovery. Nearing the goal as we speak, er. . . I mean as I type.

It feels good to be taken care of. It doesn't happen like this very often, and frankly I am happy for that. It may have been very simple acts of kindness that anyone would do for a sick friend, but it made all the difference to me. When it doesn't happen every day, I learn to truly appreciate the times it does, and the people involved. So, again, thank you very much!!! :)

The End.

Today

"There are two days in every week about which we should not worry; two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is 'Yesterday' with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back 'Yesterday'. We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word said. 'Yesterday' is gone! The other day we should not worry about is 'Tomorrow' with its possible burden, its large promise and poor performance. 'Tomorrow' is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in 'Tomorrow', for it is yet unborn. This leaves only one day - 'Today'! Any man can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when you and I have the burdens in these two awful extremities - 'Yesterday' and 'Tomorrow' - that we break down. It is not the experience of 'Today' that drives men mad - it is the remorse or bitterness about something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live but only one day at a time!"
