Impressions from an ordinary week

Since sleep is eluding me, I might as well do something! I don't have any big inspiration to write about, just some impressions from last week.

This is my weekend to work, and yesterday was a good day. It started out with a caramel latte from McDonald's - my work weekend treat. One of the pharmacists who is an amazing cook brought in food for the whole day. For breakfast, homemade quiche made with eggs, potatoes, ham, broccoli, onion, and cheese as near as I could tell. Also fresh fruit, consisting of watermelon, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. And of course, cronuts!! There was a beautiful looking salad for lunch that included chicken, black beans, tomato chunks, colorful sweet peppers and purple onions, with toppings of tortilla strips, cheese, salsa, and homemade Ranch dressing. It was all so delicious! It amazes me that she went to all that work for only the six of us who were working. It's not like that every weekend - it depends on who's working if food gets brought in. There hasn't been much food brought in lately so on Friday I took in whoopie pie bars, which went over well!

Last week I trained for the 6:30 am  - 3:00 pm position. The lead technician usually works that shift, although everyone gets trained for it. The 6:30 person is the one in charge of keeping the front pharmacy running smoothly. I enjoyed it and especially liked getting off earlier! Now I am officially trained in all areas of the pharmacy, almost a year after I started. I'm really glad I have all that behind me. The first few months were a steep learning curve and I feel like I've learned so much in the last year!

One special moment last week was when I had to go in the C-section room to refill Pyxis and heard a baby's first cry! Another sweet, unexpected gift was a bouquet of wildflowers from Shelby. He picked them along the road and delivered them to my house just for me! 😍

We've had some beautiful summer weather this week and my flowers are showing it. Looking out my windows and seeing flowers makes me happy!

Maybe I'll get up now and make a coffee cake to take to work this morning. I've been inspired by the pharmacist who so generously made all that food yesterday!
