OK, back to the present day! I am sitting on our balcony as I write this; soon we'll head down to our beach chairs to enjoy this gorgeous sunny day. I just have some random thoughts that I want to remember.
At each quarterly M45 staff meeting, names are drawn for STAR awards - it's a way to thank people who have gone out of their way to help. It's a nice tradition, and it always makes me happy to hear the many ways people have helped each other at work. Another tradition is that one name is drawn, and that person can choose a charity to receive a $45 donation from the company. This quarter, Mindy Becker's name was chosen, and she chose to give the donation to the FHN Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center in my honor. That was a really beautiful thing to do, and it means a lot to me. =)
In other super-weepy news, as we were headed east on US 20 last Saturday, Jeff told me to look at my Spotify inbox. He had made a playlist - "The Soundtrack of Us (So Far)" for me! It had all the music we talked about the morning of my surgery as an introduction, and then turned into a very big Rogepalooza list. It's 17+ hours long! It made the car ride down here so much fun, remembering the concerts we've been to and the music we've loved. I usually fall asleep in the car, but I didn't this time. =)
Our typical routine when we're here in PCB is to settle in to our beach chairs, open our beers, and read. I love it. But yesterday, we popped open our beers ... and just kept talking. I didn't read a word all day. (I did, however, nap after we'd had all our beers. =) Jeff was able to get some reading done.) I feel like the luckiest person in the world, having a husband to talk to for 17 hours of car ride, then some more the next day. We usually snicker about "hashtag people," but I really am #blessed.
