For the last two weeks each morning there is a patient that has his appointments either before or after mine. As we both like to be early we have started chatting for the last week. He is in his second week of treatment and his wife also has stage 4 cancer and is currently undergoing…
Yesterday we had people over for the app party and had 6 less people than we had anticipated. A lot of people had not seen our kitchen yet so it was a nice surprise for them. I managed to do everything that I had to and also setup the new coffee machine as well as…
Last night the Instacart guy came back in the evening and gave me the mushrooms. I had requested a refund and then tried to pay him the money but he had said that it was his mistake and would not take the money. I appreciate the accountability and the fact that he came back with…
