A working Saturday which didn't quite turn out the way I'd expected it to be (in a positive sense). The minute I stepped into the office, I was greeted with an immaculately neat workspace. My table was all spick and span, coat folded into a perfect square, stethoscope and file placed strategically in one corner and to top it all off, breakfast awaited. Seriously, my therapy assistant is beyond fabulous. And just when I thought that things couldn't get any better, the fun nurses and doctors were on duty today so I had quite a good chat with a couple of them. Before I knew it, I was done for the day :)
Managed to squeeze in some cookie-baking as well, which surprisingly, turned out to be rather therapeutic. A newly discovered outlet for stress relief perhaps? Earl grey, lemon sugar and lime were the flavours of the day. It helps that the finished product agreed with my taste buds although the tray of crackly little blobs wasn't exactly the most aesthetically-pleasing sight to behold. But hey, that can always be fixed with some fancy packaging :p
Looking forward to next week. Pay day, Christmas dinner with the colleagues and a dear friend arriving in approximately 8 days, postcard in the mailbox likely before that. There's even 3 days of annual leave as a pre-Christmas treat. What's not to love about December?
Back to
my book now. I hope this new one doesn't disappoint. Oh and if you haven't already read Flowers of Algernon, please grab a copy. It's the best book ever and I can't believe I only discovered it recently.
I guess I really gotta trust that God knows our limits best and when you've reached the ultimate low-point of your life, the only way ahead is up. One step at a time, grace.
