After my appointment with my oncologist I spent some time renewing an old friendship with a young lady from my past.  I had seen that she was in town for a few days and I called her up to see if she wanted to meet for some coffee.  She was elated to hear from me.  We met at a local coffee shop where we talked for over two hours.  I drank so much coffee I think it will be sometime next week before I get any sleep.

It’s amazing how time gets away from you.  I had no idea that it had been ten years since I’d seen her.  We had so much to talk about but so little time to catch up.  She had to hurry on to catch a flight back to where she’s now living.  It was really good to be able to spend what little time I had with her today.  I’m hoping that it won’t be another ten years before I get a chance to see her again.

I know I’ve posted this picture before but this one fits tonight’s topic so well.  Every time my girls leave the house, whether it’s going to school, to church or just going out to the store with their mom, Sophie will either sit by the door or sit on the back of the couch looking outside waiting on her girls to come home.  Most of the day while the girls are away at school both of our cats will stay on the foot of my bed but when it gets close to the time for the girls to get home Sophie will take her place on the back of the couch and wait for her girls to come home.  Once the girls are home she stays by their side until they go to bed.  I’ve never owned a cat that was so dedicated to any of my kids as she is.  The other cat is just happy that we feed him and keep his food dish completely ful.

It will be a challenging day tomorrow because we’re losing one of our guys.  He’s been with the company for over twelve years and I not only count him as a co worker but also as a dear friend.  He’s had all he can take and he’s found him another job elsewhere.

A little over a year ago our department changed management and to be honest no one likes the new guy.  He’s too strict and so dominating.  He doesn’t believe in camaraderie and everything should be strictly business.  He’s too much of a company man.  I’ve been with this company for nearly thirty years and I’ve never been treated as bad as I have been treated during the last few months and it’s only getting worse.  I don’t blame my friend at all for leaving.  In fact, if I were in the same shoes I’d be right behind him.  However, I’ve only got 34 months before I can retire so I’m going to have to keep biting my tongue and live with it until either my boss gets the message, I get fired or I retire.

I wish you the best my friend.
