I'm an Angel!!!

Monday, Monday, remember that song...just kinda popped into my head for no apparent reason...Monday to me means the third consecutive noon to close shift at work! Then again, after tomorrow, I have to put in two more before the one day shift on friday and then , Rejoice!! three glorious days off in a row!!! Does it sound like I'm a bit burnt out on the old job? Not really, just need a break! I got good news the other day in the form of a notice from management that I am now entitled to three whole weeks of vacation due to the fact that I have eight years at my job! I was estatic over that!
I see that spammers have attacked my blogsite, so I took the advice to enable word verification,so lets hope I did it right and no more spam!!! They are parasites!
According to the tv weatherman, we are way below average temperature wise this morning! Duh, does that mean it's not supposed to be 40 something out and that it should be in the 60's? Could of fooled me! I just thought we got winter early and are just going to have to deal with it!!
I have to tell you that my new little friend, Carolyn ,was in the store about quitting time last nite and I was wondering what she was doing out so late and it was really cold with the wind blowing.
She came up to my counter and asked me if she could get a ride home! I've been wanting to find out where she lives so I said "Sure!" There's no way I could turn her down! So after I punched out I dropped her off at her apartment... gave her a little lecture about being out so late in the cold and told her to be careful. I don't know what it is about her..she was so gracious and told me she had been praying to get a ride home because she didn't think she could make it and told me I was an "angel"! I just laughed and told her "Now, see, it pays to pray!" Anyway, I was glad I could help her out because if you could see this gal you'd understand why I'm so drawn to her...she is so frail looking and yet I see a strength in her that amazes me...she walks like a good wind would blow her over and she's so skinny I wonder if she's getting proper nourishment..but there's something in her eyes and her smile that tells me ,she's on it! She's no dummy, that's for sure! I can imagine that she is really lonely because I have yet to see her actually with another person. I guess that's why I want to be her buddy! I must confess I have a soft spot for the elderly and I believe they can sense that! I've tried to analyze this trait in me and the only reason I can come up with is that I lacked the presence of grandparents in my upbringing so have always sought out older individuals to bond with. Does that sound reasonable? Does to me! Not that I need a reason to like old folks, we should all have high regard for our elders, because they are all special in their own way.
It's approaching 8 am and I haven't accomplished anything this morning except this blog entry!
That means its time to sign off and go on to the tasks of the day! I won't bore you all with the details of what all that involves and I certainly won't enjoy my chores near as much as sitting here at this computer being "creative"! Ha! Have a good day!
