It's the first week of a new semester so, despite my best efforts, a Tuesday blog did not materialize. On this gorgeous Friday afternoon, with my classes for the week behind me, I thought I'd share a sampling of observations poking their heads out from among my to-do lists and weekend plans to make up for the hole in this week's posts.
- Details give me a headache. I'm a big picture girl who has spent the last week drowning in the minutiae of due dates, assignment details, and figuring out who needs what when. I need a nap. Fortunately, I get a long weekend :-)
- Change is good. After a frustrating experience picking up a prescription at my "usual" pharmacy, one that has become simultaneously overburdened and understaffed, I decided to phone in my next refill elsewhere. Today, I picked it up at the new location. Night and day doesn't begin to describe the difference in customer service.
- OMG - chocolate-covered blueberries! Who knew? My department head included some in a welcome back goodie bag she created for each of us. I now have a new obsession.
- NO CHAI?? When I stopped by my usual Starbucks today for my after-work treat, the barista told me he was sorry to disappoint me (good customer service again! It's NOT dead!), but they were out of chai! Noooo!! Fortunately another local store had some and I got my drink...but they were also in short supply. Apparently it's a key ingredient in one of the pumpkin drinks.
- Old friends are a blessing. I capped off my week with a long, chatty FaceTime with a dear friend from high school. Perfect.
Whatever you're thinking about or observing, I hope the weather where you are is as wonderful as it is here, and that you enjoy this long weekend that seals the deal on summer and launches fall.
My favorite season.
