Not much to report.
It is Wednesday, which means the week is more than half over.
We are having leftovers for dinner.
It snowed today. Then it melted.
I rewrote an article and revised another. No article revisions requested since. I am hoping I won't get more requests since I am not interested in revising tonight.
My husband and I shared a brain about grocery shopping. He asked me to stop and pick up an item he forgot and I picked up a few items I knew we were out of but weren't on the list. He got the same dang things.
When I sit here pondering the absolute unremarkable nature of today and what was good and what was bleak, I discover that this fellow I work with is really quite kind. It's odd. We worked together at a local fast food place when we were in high school. It was my first ever job and he was goofy, but nice. He had a crush on a friend of mine and I wasn't really interested in him in that way, so no big deal. Now twenty some years later, we are co-workers again.
He is funny and decent and benevolent. He offered to help me out today without a hesitation. I really appreciate that. He is quick with a joke to lighten the mood and he has a wry sense of humor at times. It's like those joke grenades that you toss out and then just wait for someone to get it. We seem to have struck a reciprocity that I don't think ever existed until this year. Anyway, he's really very thoughtful and willing to assist whenever needed. Sometimes I think that is to his detriment, but that's his choice to make I suppose.
There you have it. Today's bright spot was the fact that someone jumped up to help me out and I honestly appreciate everything this man has done for me this year. I enjoy his humor, his reliability, and his honest to goodness authenticity.
Dinner is almost ready and less than 90 minutes until my mid-week indulgence.
