Being Positive

It's only a two day week for me and then I'm off until the 22nd. I get an extra vacation day on Monday due to the eclipse. I'm looking forward to the rejuvenation and rest of convention. It's a quiet day today with only one meeting. That meeting will hopefully jump start the Salesforce build process. I get to buy groceries tonight to make food for convention. That's a privilege many don't have.

I got to have a surprise lunch with a friend today. It was great to catch up with her and with our other old coworkers through her. My meeting this afternoon went fairly well and I view it as a stepping off point for a new challenge. I have a sweet student worker who is willing to refill my water bottle for me. There have been so many years of student workers and I have a hard time remembering them all but I really miss Loni Hartman and Victoria Bonebrake. These girls became friends as well as student workers. There are others I miss as well but none I know quite as well as these two. It's a blessing to have the students around.

I got the fourth skirt completed tonight and started on the hand work for the fifth. Yeah for productivity! I got groceries and the girls are coming to help me make food with them tomorrow. Dad agreed to make me a potato salad, although I think mom actually made it. It's one less thing I have to do and his always tastes better than mine. It was a load of groceries but I had the money to spend on them. That's an improvement from my budget some months but also more than many many people could afford.
