Today was my Monday. I was away from work for five days, and of course, whenever you go back to work after time off, there is always a pile of things that didn't get handled at all, and another for those that were handled incorrectly. When there's that much to do, you just jump in, get it done, and move on to the next task. This being the last day of the month, and the last day of our quarter as well, I considered asking if management wanted me to stay and get some more credits processed. That thought, however, was very very very brief!!! I rarely call in sick, but I did on Monday so that I could stay an extra day with my folks.
It was a good vacation. :) always nice to spend time with family, even if you don't do anything but enjoy each others' company. Dad's arthritis is bad in his back, makes walking difficult. Which means getting out and doing something as a family isn't like it used to be. One of the things I wanted to do while I was visiting California was head out to the beach. But the folks never go and do that. So my choices were stay at home with them, or go off on my own. And since I was there to see them..... its obvious what my choice was!!
I didn't take nearly the number of pictures I usually do. I should have started a list of the things I intended to get pix of. One of them on my wish list was a picture of the four hands of us girls. My mother, me, my daughter and my granddaughter. (Of course, now that I think about it, I wish I'd been doing that every time we were together!!) To me, hands tell a lot, they tell a tale. The study of the shape of hands and fingers is called chirognnomy. And I have always been fascinated by hands. Maybe writing this down will help me remember. :)
