We are on our annual family vacation and if trips could have horoscope predictions, we would have been warned that every little thing would go awry. I was completely depleted from work, I gave the wrong keys to the cat sitter, but when her daughter called to talk about the matter, I was disoriented because she has the same name as a reporter I’m working with — and I’m like how is this reporter calling my personal cell? Why is she talking to me about my keys? Then Husband got a random dental emergency — fortunately, found a dental urgent care and got antibiotics as he was light-headed with pain. In the Walgreens when I picked up the antibiotics and fine array of snacks for children, I walked up to the wrong minivan and opened the door and thought, “I don’t remember Husband wearing red shorts. Husband doesn’t have white hair” before I realized I MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE. I apologized profusely and the kids spotted the man convulsing alone in his car when I left so thankfully he was upset or offended. (I’m assuming he was convulsing with laughter, not like having a cardiac arrest.)ANYWAY, none of that has to do with the point of me posting which is we grabbed lunch at a diner immediately after and we got one of those waitresses who exude effortless positivity. She was older (that’s saying something because I’m older) but active. Wore glasses, a super tan, and long blonde hair the texture of ramen noodles like the girls I grew up with in the 1980s. Metal band bangs tool. Why did I love this lady so? Specifically, she enthusiastically affirmed all of our meal choices like we were geniuses. “That’s a great order, hon, I always get that myself,” “wow, you made such a good decision with that ravioli,” “you will not regret that Cobb Salad,” etc. I mean, like she made my day, observing her example and receiving her affirmation energy, I want to see if I can bring that back to my work..
