kimurhoI work as a cashier in a small neighbourhood grocery store. I enjoy the work, I enjoy treating with customers and bagging. I consider customer satisfaction to be a major part of the job for which I was hired.
Today a customer gifted me with a lace cloth embroidered with the words "Silent Night" - because she said I had helped her so much. I feel humbled and dumbfounded; flabbergasted even. I don't understand why she would feel that way. It is a beautiful piece of work.
In other news, the rosemary plant I snuck into the house before Thanksgiving is still alive and that amazes me also because it had started drooping. My experience is that once a rosemary plant begins drooping at the ends, that's all she wrote and it's a long slow decline into death. But this time, the droop reversed and it's alive for another week. I have this plant inside a couple of very large (empty) pretzel barrels. I'm hoping that a terrarium effect might help so ... maybe it is? Maybe it is.
In other news, the orange tree has a LOT of small branches just starting out on it now. I think it was jealous of all the praise I was lavishing on the coffee plant for its one.
