Serendipity
So. Today is the big dinner / celebration for my team. I am both excited and nervous. I don’t do well at planning these kinds of things and its really not my bag of tea. But, I am trying – as this is for my staff that have worked so hard for me. Decy has been helpful; but, I have taken the lead as she has been very busy with her salon. One thing that I wanted to do was to be sure and get a very good night’s sleep the night before. Not only did I want to feel fresh at the event, but I have the hope that Decy and I could go out for drinks and dancing afterwards.
We have both been so busy lately there hasn’t been much time for us. And, even though I plan to enjoy a 3 day weekend this weekend (hint, likely no blog on Friday), Decy will be working Saturday and Sunday.
So, I made it home about 730pm and one of the first things I said to Decy is that I was hoping to go to sleep early so I could get fully rested. After dinner I went to tell the staff we were finished eating. I noticed a stranger in our kitchen area and the massage mattress there ready to be brought into the house. I politely said hello, talked to the staff, and then asked Decy “why is a strange woman in our kitchen?”
Turns out there was a mix up and the woman (from our massage clinic) went to the wrong house and there was lots of confusion as to where she should go. The worst part is that she had already incurred costs to come to our house and was about to be sent back to the office without any compensation and a lost sale for the night. The lady was pretty depressed about the situation. Soooooo …. being the kind folks that we are – Decy agreed to hire her for a massage.
What was supposed to be a 1 1/2 hour massage because it was already late (830pm) turned out to be a 2+ hour massage. Decy said it was incredibly good and one of the best she has ever had. Decy wass quite insistent that I need to try the lady myself. I will try her … maybe this weekend. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how I can reclaim the lost sleep …. it was 1130pm when I finally got to bed. And, of course, the alarm went off at 315am.
Need to close and work on some other things. ciao ciao
