Walking on Thin Ice...

I was so glad to make it in to work.  I checked my pulse carefully watching for the signs of another panic attack -- just waiting for my head to swim into the mind oblivion that is those things.  So far so good! I need to go find some wood to knock upon.

"What do you do with your days?" Betty asked me not long after arriving.

"I spend a lot of time on the computer," I replied as I sheepishly grinned. 

"Oh, my husband does, too!" She exclaimed as she laughed jovially and went walking out of my office.

Betty is in her late fifties and early sixties.  She's worked for Dad for years and years.  She has retired twice only to find she hates the idleness of retirement and has come back to work.  I like her.  I admire her work ethic.  Dad thinks she is one of his best employees besides his co-pharmacist. 

Work is quiet for the most part.  Dad is off and I am having to find things to do.  He usually keeps me busy.  Soon, I will escape with my box of deliveries and head up the road.  From Viagra to Xanax, I am the go-to man.  Straight to your door, I bring the pills that make you hornier or mellow or keep your blood pressure low.   My position is highly underestimated.

i hope that work goes well for you tonight.I know that your job is very important what you do because it is a much needed job. i also was thinking how much your dad is trusting you these days to deliver medications. It shows much for your dad and runs his business for someone wants to go back to her job even after she retired.

I hope your panic attacks will lessen in frequency. They must be terribly difficult to deal with.

You made me laugh with this post. You are indeed the 'go to guy' around those parts. lol

I loved your humorous remarks in the bottom part of your blog today : ).

I wrote a really heartwrenching blog today but still managed to inject a wee bit of humor - I think its in our natures, I think its why we are survivors.

cheers,

LOL "highly" under estimated! Hahahaha. Sounds like a new idea for a Viagra commercial.

Thanks for stopping by today. I always look forward to your visits.

This post cracked me up! I have a question, Betty? How can she be in her late 50's and early 60's? Maybe "and" should be "or". Just wondering. LOL!!!!
