OK, this tiredness has to go away. Today was yet another work day. I realized yet again that even though people come in all shapes sizes and mindsets, it helps to assume that they are OK. Yes, some are nasty. I ran into a whole bunch of them on the way to and inside the grocery store the other day. But if you’re in the customer service business no matter in sales or support, it only serves you well to think well of people and be kind and try to do the best you can for them. Yes there are bad people out there. Yes not every interaction will go well. But to start from a mean place or denigrating place is just plain not going to work.

Now I feel better but I’m still tired.

Did a little work tonight on the apple quilt. First though I had a warmed plate of leftovers from yesterday’s dinner – lamb, mashed potatoes mmmmmmmm.

Oh, and I ran into a customer from the apple store in Williams Sonoma today. I’d gone to get a new veggie peeler. He had told me when he was my customer that he is a personal chef and cook book author. So he gave me some free advice about the peeler and so I’m going with it. I came home with a lovely OXO peeler. I also got an apple sized tea ball sort of thing. It was being marketed for making mulled cider but I’m planning on using it for my herbs and spices in soup making.
