Make New Friends, But Keep the Old. One is Silver, the other is Gold.

My boss brought some business cards into work, and posted them on the bulletin board. I've been looking for the place that was on the business cards but wasn't able to find it. So, today I took a lunch break with a friend/coworker, "GG". We ordered some food from this place called El Camino Real. We walked over to the shop that was on the business card. I opened the door, and guess what?!!!

"G?"
"K?"
My bestfriend "R's" mom and I ran into eachother and gave eachother a hug. It was HER store! I was looking for oils for Aromatherapy, because we incorporate it into our massages, plus, like my other best friend, "KI," I am appreciating Celestial art. "GG" and "KI" both collect celestial art. I've started to, because it looked cute in the store, but I wasn't into it. As soon as I saw it set up, oh gosh, it was beautiful.

G's got a lot of good things. I just didn't have time to shop or chat, because I had to go back to work and "G" was chit-chatting. :( Anyway, it was good seeing her mom. We go way back...

Work was boring as hell. I went to sleep for an hour. How great of a job I have...I can sleep when it's slow. I asked the Doctor to get me a Vanilla Coke, cuz it's off the hook (tastes like Cream Soda), and he said yes. I waited for 2 hours, before he came back, and he forgot my soda. I was sleeping on the table, and he came into the room, and said, "K, you okay?" I said, "Yeah?" He was talking to me, but I couldn't comprehend what was being said. He goes, "You have a client in a few minutes." Everything was foggy, cuz I was half asleep, half awake. I got up about 10 minutes later. "T" comes into the room and goes, "K, your client is ready." I go out and greet her. I was so tired.

I escorted the lady to the massage room. I told her to undress and remove all jewelry. Then I closed the door, and went to the employee lounge. "Y" goes, "The doctor forgot your drink. He felt so bad, he gave me money and I bought a bunch of sodas for everybody." I was like, "I don't need soda now. That was hours ago. Now, I just need water." Man, I hate that, when I crave something, don't get it until my craving is over.

Later on, 2 men selling toys and other stuff came in. One of the men spoke and he had such a thick "African" accent, I asked him, "Where are you from?" He said, "Uganda. You know where Uganda is?" I said, "Not really. I just know it's on the African continent." He said, "The east coast of Africa (AFREEKAH is how he pronounced it), by Tanzania, Kenya, and Sudan." I said, "Do you sell anything from Uganda? Like Christmas ornaments, blankets, music?" He said, "No. You want something from Uganda? When I go bock (he said BOCK instead of BACK) to Uganda, I will bring you something. It will not be for sale, but a GIFT." His voice was like James Earl Jones in Coming To America, deep and ethnic. I'm meeting people left and right, running into old friends, making new ones. Life is grand.

Well, let's see. Nothing really important happened afterward. I ate at L&L;'s Hawaiin Barbecue tonight. Loved it.
