Saturday, August 18
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, I am making my way back back to Chicago from Megan's wedding shower in Milwaukee. I found the sounds of Sun Kil Moon comfortable and perfectly matched to my mood. I don't know what it is about this sneak-peak-fall-ish week but it was a tough one. I hate the feeling that I am falling behind. Bills, chores, books to write, floors to mop are one thing. The list keeps growing. But when I start falling behind on friends and Ben- then I get emotional and falling behind becomes incredibly personal. I ended the week at work with a huge compliment followed by a huge train wreck (figuratively). I was ressurected by two dear 75 year old gentlemen that came in for therapy with an open mind. We sat at the table preparing for the last 3 hours of therapy for the week when we decided to make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies from scratch for the rest of the patients and crabby therapists (it had been a baaad morning). Ingredients and a million spoons cluttered the kitchen countertops when we put the cookies into the oven. Minutes later, a crowd of 25 or so were eagerly surrounding the us, eyes fixated on the cookies baking. The sweet smell of chocolate melting even brought the doctor out of her office. My dear gentlemen were tickled to serve such an appreciative, sweetness starved crowd.0 comments
