Even though my paycheck has become dependent on selling and/or making caffeinated beverages, for years I have made a point to limit my intake of them. So on days like today when I had to get up at 5:30 to be to work for 7:00 I get through on my morning cup of coffee. And then when I get home, it's nap time.
Now, I know there are a lot of people that don't nap or don't have time to nap and for them I say bring on the espresso! I come from a long line of nappers. My grandmother used to say she needed a "rest" after lunch. In my immediate family we call them snappies (short nap). Whatever you call them, I hope you're catching one every now and then. It's worth passing on the cappuccino for a nappuccino every once in a while.
My day on Sunday was long and a bit frustrating at times. I had an impatient 19 year old colleague yelling at me because I wasn't working at a pace to her liking. And then later things slowed down and there were too many workers with little to do. After speaking with my manager on Monday, this will be last my week of training so next week I won't be the extra person, I'll be regular staff. This is good in that I'll get more hands on experience and also because it makes me eligible for the tip pool.
Last night when I was walking Jak wearing shorts and a tank top in mid September, I had a moment when I felt like I was right where I needed to be. Although I have been missing fresh picked apples, I have not been missing the cooler weather that I know is settling in on the northeast. Some people I have met here gripe about the perpetual summer and lack of seasons. I always felt sad when summer was over and days got shorter and cooler so no complaints from me.
I'd like to give a shout out to my four legged niece and nephew, Ella and Auggie, who are recovering from a tangle with a porcupine last evening. Thank goodness that their mom is a vet, the pictures weren't pretty. Sort of like acupuncture gone wrong. Might I suggest reading them this book...
I'll give you a hint...very carefully. Feel better pups!
Until next time...
Peace, Love and Leave the Porcupines Alone!
