Danny was up at 3:30 needing to go out. He did his piddling and we went back to bed. I’m not sure whether I got back to sleep or not. We got up again at 5:30 and went out for his morning constitutional. There was some commotion down the street where the nasty black dog lives. The street was blocked off by police cars and some police were going into the house. I couldn’t tell what was going on. I drove past when I went to work and saw it was State Police. I remembered the little dog being out day and night and wonder if he were abandoned. The house has been looking rather shabby with Christmas Decorations still on the porch and newspapers all over the lawn.
When I got to work, no one was there yet so I went to WaWa and got a coffee. When I came back, Ron was there. He told me some things to do when I first arrived and then I sat and waited for Ginny. She comes in at 8:30. She was unable to get me set up on the computer so I didn’t have much to do. It was a slow day and only a few calls came in. I did a crossword puzzle and read some magazines.
I came home for lunch and walked Danny and grabbed a PB&J. I took a crème soda back to work with me. The job is OK but I almost cried a couple times because I was not in my office with Ted and Sonia.
I walked Danny when I got home and went to work on the hedge. I wanted to get it trimmed as I will be going to my brother’s for the weekend. I’ll trim the weeds tomorrow and cut the grass on Sunday afternoon.
I didn’t go to Toastmasters because I wanted to get the hedge done and I was tired from being up so early and the first day on the job. I was too tired to go to Bible Study after cutting the hedge. I did Danny’s ears and will be taking him out soon before going to bed.

It sounds like you had a very full day even though it was not very productive. Hopefully the routine in your new job will bedcome more organized with time.
Posted by: Mother & Dad at May 2, 2007 8:33 PMGood morning Karol, I was thinking about your work making you take a step back in time and remembering when you were working with Ted and Sonia. And, again, I can only imagine, but I'm sure that did cause some emotion for you. You're doing what you must do, but, if only everything could have stayed as it was. It's very difficult to understand the "whys" of life sometimes.
The fact that you weren't busy enough with your job yesterday gave you too much time to think of working with Ted. I hope the work gets a little more challenging for you. It's great that it's close to home, but, you have too much to offer to be idle at work. And, again, it was a "first" and all those things feel like someone just dumped salt into your wounded heart. However, in spite of the challenge this presented to you, you did it. You made the effort to step out there and start another new project, which says so much about you Karol. You're a strong and fine woman.
I'm glad you were able to go home and visit Danny during your noon hour. I know he was glad to see you. He's a good buddy for you and vice versa.
Hope the job was a bit more challenging for you today. Wishing you a wonderful little get-away trip. I always send my best to you, Ruth
