It is a beautiful Tuesday morning here in Phoenix, AZ today! Of course I left before 6AM to get to work this morning but the sun hadn't risen yet and in the darkness there was a nice coolness in the air. It was nice driving into work as the traffic was about half of what I normally have to deal with - ten minutes later! I got to work in about 30 minutes today - have a full schedule and lots to get done so needed to get in early. I've already sent out two reports, found directions for one of our outside doctors to find his way here for a meeting today, and made coffee, got water for the director, vice president and myself.
Just got a chuckle. The outside doctor (doesn't work for our company but is contracted to attend meetings, etc.) just sent me an email that he received the directions and commented he needs a lot of help. I can't wait to meet him - he is a retired pediatrician, I think. About a month ago I contacted him to set up this meeting, and he told me then that his day planner, organizer, direction finder, calendar, companion, .... yeah, you know where I'm going with this.... his wife died several months ago. We've talked since then and he told me how much he misses her, even after several months, and that she always considered it her job to take care of him, and she did it so well, he is nearly helpless without her. What a testimony of love and friendship after 52 years of marriage. I can't wait to meet him - which I will today. The other outside doctor that is coming in to the office I worked with at my previous company - also a retired pediatrician. It has always been good to see him and he is involved in several meetings here so I see him at least once a month.
I've discovered through these two pediatricians that they have a rare sense of humor. I guess it is necessary to keep the children engaged when they were in practice. Both of these men make me laugh and look forward to seeing them.
I haev a full schedule with two big meetings today and still about 7 sets of minutes to type up. I no sooner get one done and I have another meeting to attend and there is another set of minutes to type up. I've got to get focused on them. Looking at my calendar, I don't have any more scheduled meetings after today - through the end of the month - maybe I can get them caught up. I hope so - next month is another full month of meetings!
Looks like I need to get busy - emails to do things are already coming in- hope you have a great day. No time for stories.
Blessings!
