dinner party
I flew home tonight because I scheduled a little dinner with my former boss who is now retired and one of my friends who I used to work with in her unit.
It’s amazing what you can do in about 15 minutes because I was so fried when I woke up this morning that I didn’t bother to make my bed (I never do anyways), do the dishes in the sink, throw out the garbage or fluff up the couch.
It got done in record time and they were late so it worked out perfectly!
It was swell, my boss was thoughtful enough to bring the wine for them to drink and I happily swilled my grapefruit soda 
I picked up Thai on my way home tonight and it was good.
My boss came back from a tour of Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor as well as Istanbul. She didn’t have the pictures on CD to show but she really told some great great stories. It sounded like a truly memorable trip! We talked about the dire situation at work and she expressed her joy at not being caught up in the nightmare anymore.
It was a really nice evening - sad it had to end by 9:50 but hell - we were all beat
Funny how your heart can swell up at odd moments and you find yourself smiling because you are genuinely happy.
It happens so rarely that I nearly forgot what that feels like -
but when it does
it sure makes
you want it to
happen over
and
over
again
makes me tear up just thinking about it.
Sounds real good, Annie - one of those times when you are on the same page with folks and getting, as well as giving, some mutual support and reinforcement. Kind of recharges the old batteries, doesn’t it?
Happy Easter, child…
Love,
Z
What a nice evening. I know what you mean about the yummy feeling of feeling happy. It should happen more. Especially to you. You give so much and take so little back. You deserve that happy feeling all the time my love.
