The Best Medicine!

My neighbor friend came over last night and she was helping me do miscellaneous tasks in my apartment. Oh wait that's right, she came over so we could share dessert together and that is when she cooked oatmeal on a skillet and we ate it off a plate. Now that I am putting this into writing, it's nowhere near as hilarious as having your occasional ride to church, esthetician, beautiful Filipino neighbor come over and so elegantly says she's preparing dessert. Pulls out a pan and later places the cooked instant oatmeal on a paper plate in front of you. I forgot why I made the rule that I have people out of my house by 8 leaving time for my brain to settle down reaching a normal racing speed by 10 o'clock, 9 if we're lucky.
           After laughing hysterically, talking to her husband, meeting his family in Montana via FaceTime, and sharing what she considers wonderful household accommodations I have (thanks for the blow dryer holder Ma), my bed was calling me. Morning would come all too quickly.
           I didn't wake up before my alarm and I didn't even wake up with an encouraging poem in mind. My workout was cut down to... only the in-house workout? Did I do a workout? The ride to work was absolutely delightful, my hilarious mother knows exactly how to make me see the funny side of almost any situation. Work was great - - being able to support students and see them succeed makes every minute worth it.
As the work day came to an end a friend was finalizing plans for tomorrow when Pops looked at the clock and said we're going to run by this restaurant if you think we have time. In my head I was thinking “No way… it is against the law to do anything after work before I go home,” but I said “of course Daddy I just have to be home by 4:30.” He made sure I wanted to try and make it and before I could make up my mind we were in and out of line with yummy treats in toe. Talk about life being so much more exciting when you can find joy in the small things.
Wow... I was just trying to proofread this and I am all over the place when I write. Although that doesn't seem very coherent I'm going to leave it and hope you have an absolutely beautiful night... Maybe it's time to eat my after work treat!
I know this isn't feeling now, it's so great when you just want to cry but you can't help but laugh! Laughter is definitely the best medicine!
