Today has been a pretty good day. B and I got a lot of stuff done that really needed to be done. But there is definitely a unique story about today.
I had a home health visit this morning at a facility in the valley. B dropped me off for my visit and went to run an errand while I was tending to my patient. I finished what I was doing about 5 minutes before B got back to pick me up. So I waited in the lobby of said facility.
I had not been there long when I was joined by a young man, perhaps in his mid-twenties. He had some sort of social deficit. I am not saying this to be judgmental by any means... you just need to read on, in fact, to give the best picture, I will type up our conversation.
Man: How are you?
Me: I am good'nd you?
Man: Not so good.
Me: Bummer... (not wanting to pry, so I looked at the Christmas tree). Man I need to get my tree up.
Man: I had a doctors appointment.
Me: Oh... so... good news or bad?
Man: Bad.
(silence)
(awkward silence)
Man: (quietly) I have a rash.
It was at that point that B arrived in the parking lot. I don't recall what my reaction to this poor man was, it wasn't mean, I just can't remember what I said. I told B that story as soon as I got into the car and he laughed right out loud.
And that is the reason that I love people today. Yeah, it was kind of creepy. It was also really funny. It takes all kinds to keep the world spinnin' right?
Love to you all!

I must surely be related to B becasuse I laughed right out loud too.
So, do you want homemade goodies this year or not? I will send an email in a bit giving the possibilities.
Sure do miss you, Trish. You are one of my favorite people
PS I have a rash but don't tell B.
Well go find out where his rash was. What if I have the same one...
Curses!
Thanks for the chuckle.
