Good Morning! Day … well actually Night … 2 with no nightmares! I had a few things to get done before an early doctor appointment, so I needed Alexa to wake me up. Well that little radio Vixen did wake me … but knew that I wouldn’t get out of bed when she did! My wake up song (oh yes I ask to be awakened to music - no screaming bzzzzz for me - which is why the clock radio was invented!), was ‘Stairway to Heaven’! You just can’t turn that off when it starts! In no time I was waving my arms and bobbing my head singing along - totally awake! Good Job Alexa! (I hope that is not over sharing).
My Word of the Day is FRIENDS (not the old TV show - but I liked it too). I have Great FRIENDS! (I hope they know that they also have a FRIEND in me). Again, I had to rely on one of my crazily Great Skilled Dental Specialist FRIEND to help (really solve), a dental pain for a dear patient.
It is mentally crushing and painful for me, when I cannot diagnose and help someone who comes to me for dental issues. (I have been well trained at the University at Buffalo School of Dentistry and then there are the 40 years of experience! … but I just didn’t know.) So thank you Dr Lowenguth (again) - you are a spectacular Dental Specialist and better FRIEND.
Oh my FRIEND thank you’s don’t end there … a fellow hockey fan, Patty offered me several hockey tickets to see our Amerks a while back … so kind … but there is more! Of course I goofed up the phone/internet ticket capture to transfer from Ticketmaster to my phone wallet (which I’m not a real place - just computie stuff), but Patty stuck with this old guy - talked me through and I had the virtual tickets. Then the scourge of illness came and at the last minute … we could not go - thank you Patty, we tried … oh no this is not the end … this Great FRIEND found a way to transfer the computerie tickets to another night! Tonight is that night.
These are just the most recent Big examples of what great FRIENDS that I have … the daily love and support that I get is constant (and always needed). So FRIENDS Thank You - you all know who you are … I have no life without you.
