What did you do today to show understanding

[MSLI]

It’s annual Physical time, but when you turn 65 they call it a ‘ Wellness Visit’ Probably because you’re no longer physically fit and They’re just testing how well you are so they can predict your death for SS Budgeting purposes.

Anywho i’m pulling into LabCorp for blood test. I see a new mother with a stroller getting out of her car. The closest spot to the front door was next to her but I did not want to blow the exhaust towards the baby so I pulled past her and five or six spots away. ( Understanding )

She came into the Lab with me, but I was called to give blood before her infant. While in the chair, one lab tech yelled to my gal, just ready to stick me, “ Hey, are you OK drawing blood from an infant ?

So I assumed the mother would be fearful for her child. Now here’s the interesting part, right before she drew my blood she actually switched needles and I believe purposely chose one of my hidden veins, using an infant needle, because no lab tech has ever drawn blood from that area on my arm before . I think she did it on purpose to practice before drawing blood from the infant. …. Very smart and understanding.

While leaving, I touched the mother’s shoulder, leaned in ( smelled her hair ) and said you’ll be fine, she was great
( Understanding of other’s potential needs and wants, can get us back on track)


What have you done Today !

I applaud you, well, all except you smelling the hair.

Is this something they teach you in the Democratic Club?

I've been helping my neighbors cutting down and moving downed trees from our high winds..

You're in the safe zone, the fires are past or not close to you?

What have you done Today !

You're way ahead of me. I borrowed a stretcher from the shop so that I could put two stretchers side by side to assist making a closet doorway seam.
The fulcrum pin on their stretcher handle had a circlip.... or C-clip missing so the pin didn't stay in place.
I stopped at O'Reilly's on the way home and got a new one (hardware stores were closed) so the installers that borrow it next will have a better day.
I'm just too thoughtful sometimes.
