A BAGEL AND A COFFEE

Mostly sunny with temperatures rising towards the low 80s. Winds light and variable.

I am so jealous today. My daughter has the day off and she is going to be sitting by her pool. I bought one of those noodle things to use in her pool. I can't wait until I am done with this job and then I can spend some time at the pool with her on her days off.

Write after I wrote the above paragraph my daughter called. She had remembered I didn't go to work until ten. She wanted me to meet her for coffee. So off I went and that ended up being a comedy of errors. It was already 9:10 and I had to be to work by 10:00. Whatever made me think I could drive to downtown, find a parking place near the coffee/bagel place, meet up with her assuming she was not too long, wait in line for a bagel and coffee, sit down and eat the bagel and drink the coffee, get back in my car and drive back up the hill to the nursing home all in 45 minutes. Throw in the fact that we both did get there at the same time but my daughter insisted that I not leave my car in the parking spot on the corner where it said bus stop (so we both had to get back in my car so she could find me another spot), parked the car then she dropped her phone and it slid under the car so we had to move the car, get in the bagel/coffee shop and the two guys behind the counter that my daughter lovingly called Bevis and Butthead were as so as molasses in the summertime. Wow was that ever a run on sentence. We were only able to sit down for a minute, take a sip of coffee and eat half the bagel and I was off to my car. I then had to drive around the block to where she was parked so I could give her the float for her pool and the noodle for her pool so she could have them for today. I started up the hill toward the nursing home at 9:54. It really would not have been bad if I were a few minutes late but I was relieving the receptionist at the front desk for her 10:00 break. I clocked in at 10:01. That was totally not worth the coffee and bagel but totally worth visiting with my daughter for well maybe 15 minutes.

I worked until 3 today came home and chilled on the front porch. My daughter was coming over for dinner so we waited for her had dinner and that was that for the day.
