I would like to determine the reason for the good day. Last Monday was just awful, and I blamed that on Monday. So, let’s see, why was this a good day today:

• Got about 6.5 hours of sleep (about average for me)
• Woke up at 6:30 to move my car to the left side of the street to avoid towing
• Showered (nice and hot today!) and was out the door by 7:40
• Slightly late to my early morning physical at 8:00 but they gave me funky directions. Physical went well, over by 9, so I had a ton of time to get to work! And my new doctor is a youthful woman, probably in her early thirties. I had issue with my old doc, so I changed, and I think she’s going to work out very well! I have another appointment for lady things w/ her in a couple weeks. We’ll see how that goes. Doctor visits that involve putting one’s legs into stirrups are always the true test of doctor comfort.
• Stopped at my favorite Bucks for my usual drink and a lovely raspberry scone. Sarah was working, nice to see a familiar face. and my drink was perfect!
• Got to work about 9:20, after I stopped at the bank across street.
• Listened to my i-pod and got good some work done until we opened at 10.
• Customer flow was pretty steady today, so I didn’t get a lot of paperwork done for the wedding orders I am writing, but I am going to try and go in a bit early tomorrow and knock those all out.
• I was sharp and attentive with customers. I tried my best to be meticulous, but one never knows until we see proofs/orders how meticulous I really was. :\
• Took lunch really early and the day still flew by. Kathy said we had a good day sales-wise. Hopefully we’re on track for making our month incentive. I really need a bonus check this month!
• Happy customers today! I think that makes a huge difference. I will be very, very sweet and patient with you if you take forever to decide which shade of green you want, as long a you’re nice about it. Seriously. I will be very sweet and patient with you if you’re nasty because I get paid to be, but honestly, I will hate you for ruining my day. Why are some people so rude and cranky??? It can jut ruin me because I get less confident when people are mean and critical over things that are out of my control.
• Pretty, spring-like day is helping, too. Last Monday was rainy.

So, that’s why I think I had a good day today. I think I need to start drinking coffee more often in the mornings because it’s helped the last few times I’ve had some before work. Also the being more than half-awake when I roll in helps!
