What made you smile today?


Recommended Posts

This is actually from yesterday, but hey, close enough!

 

Yesterday there was a little boy at the library, who ran to me and grabbed my shirt with his both hands and started shouting "TYT! TYT! TYT!" (maybe going for "tyttö", which is "girl" in Finnish) He actually did this a couple of times, always coming from behind, and his parents just told him "not to grab the lady anymore". I started feeling very anxious and left (being grabbed by someone without "a licence to grab" causes me great anxiety). When I was walking down the road, I looked up and noticed that someone had put up a skeleton model in their balcony.

The skeleton was resting against the railing and seemed to be engoying the sunset. It made me laugh so hard that I started feeling better right away! :D

Last night we went to the playground and I climbed up the fireman's pole. (There doesn't seem to be any way to write that without sounding dirty.) It wasn't the most graceful thing but I made it up and then proceeded to do a little celebratory dance at the top with my daughter.

It's only dirty if there was an actual fireman there

 

That's pretty much exactly my wife texted me a play-by-play of the Fireman's Games on the weekend.  She also figured out which outlying region we need to move to, based on the hotness of the VFDs there.

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

This story. Made me go "Awwww...."

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

The nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’ ~ Author Unknown

it wasnt today, but yesterday i had a great time with some great nerds and despite my anxiety going into the situation (i am very introverted and shy around new people) it was only kind of akward for the first few minutes. I talked more than i usually do around people i have never met and that made me smile and it was a whole afternoon of laughing!

When you think they don't remember you... you just might be surprised.

CONFIRMATION.

 

I am taking two 4th level University courses this fall, and I was very unclear exactly how many more credits I need for my degree (the program plan is badly worded).  If I take two courses in the Spring, I will be done. BOOM.
