Shaking it off

I struggle with Monday.  It is so busy at work.  AND it never fails there will be somebody that I talk to that cannot be made happy.  Their bad attitude leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  I don't like letting somebody else decide my attitude so I try to just let it go.  It may take a few head shakes, a little grumping, a few frowns but it does eventually let go of me.  Some of the uglier things can take a bit more shaking to get rid of.  Today was one of those days.  I think I have most of it shaken off. 

Last week a former co-worker passed away.  He was only about 40 years old.  Too young, way too young.  The job was hard on him.  He was a good man and he will be missed by many.  His children are mostly grown but they will not have him to lean on when life's heartaches find them.  He will not be there to hold and love on grandchildren.  They will all have to be strong without him.  He always had a kind word for me when my husband was ill with cancer.  Hold a place for us SD.

I think that they have finally hired the 2nd person for Records.  She passed the back ground and I don't see her having any problems with passing her drug test.  Hopefully she will start on Monday.  I am not looking forward to training again but once it is done things should, should, should calm down.  I am leaving it at should.  Not holding my breath.  Nope.  Red and puffy cheeks is not a good look on me. 

I am tired.  I didn't sleep well last night. (unusual for me).  I did make it through the hardest day of the week so things are looking up.  Plus my oldest baby is recovering well from her surgery.  It was not the outcome we hoped for but knowing is better than being clueless.  Gonna listen to a bit more of the Black Crowes cranked up before I crawl in bed. 

That is all I have to share tonight.  Except this little face. 

I can't help but smile when he looks at me like this and says "No wowwy, it ok". 


Gotta have something to smile about.
