Day 18: 8

One more day for the classic green smoothie for breakfast and lunch and greens for dinner.  I haven't looked at the book yet to see what is going to be on the menu for the next phase.  I believe it is the last phase of this program.  Then it's up to me to put together healthy meals to continue this journey. 

Today was a bit busier at work.  Especially at around 4:10pm.  I can not believe how many people came in, one after the other.  I was trying to get the money counted as we are supposed to have it in the safe by 4:30pm.  I finally got started on it at about 4:30.  I was right in the middle of it when, here comes another one.  I could sit at my desk twiddling my thumbs all day long, but come 4pm the hordes show up.  See, they volunteer to take stuff to the County so they can go straight home from there.  On Monday, one guy showed up at 5 minutes to 5pm.  Luckily, he didn't have every thing he needed for me to take his submittal.  Don't think I wasn't smiling when I handed it back to him.  Oh, yeah!

One really neat thing did happen on Monday at about 10 to 5pm.  Two young men came to my counter.  The difference between them and other young men that have come to my counter is they were both deaf.  I actually got to use a little sign language and actually was able to help them.  Unfortunately, I had to send them to the City of Las Vegas' Building Department.  But I was thrilled that I was able to communicate a little with him.  Bless him for his patience, too.

And what have I been doing with all that down time?  Why, I've been working on my novel!  It's coming along splendidly...I think.  Time will tell.  I'm really looking forward to this year's NaNoWriMo November.  I've got some ideas that are percolating.  I was thinking of doing short stories, maybe.  I do enjoy a good collection of short stories.  It might be just the thing.

Well, I'm done with my griping.  Time to put the clothes in the dryer and put it to bed.  I want to get up early tomorrow.  I've been hedging back towards 6am, rather than 5am.  Mostly because I'm going to bed too late. 

One quick question, though.  Does anybody know where I can get a good bottle brush?

Tally ho!
