Well I just got back from having some testing done at the hospital and we're off in a bit to another hospital to visit a sick relative. Now when you walk into a shared room and the person you know is in the far bed, what do you do?
Do you stop and chat with the first person?
Give them a smile and a wave?
Walk right by and make no eye contact?
Put on your invisibility cloak and just stroll in the room???
I am the right by and no eye contact type of person, I don't know if they want me looking at them, or if they even know I'm walking past. I get all nervous about this less than one second encounter and I have no idea why!! I think about it in the parking lot, i mention it to my husband (who really doesn't even see the big deal!), it nags at me in the gift shop, where I proceed to purchase magazines that I know will only get eaten by my one year old and drawn on by my 2 yr old and then i think about it in the elevator ride, the walk down the corridor and then i'm there, at THE DOOR, to the room of the relative. My palms are sweaty and I think, today I am going to smile and wave. YES today I am going to change the world with a smile. YES I am going to make this persons day...Open the door, in we go.....
ahh...the roommate is gone. Oh well maybe next time :)

Naptime is upon this household (Let the chorus of angels sing) and the dishes are done, everythings clean and while I was gone husband even spot cleaned some of the carpet! Ohh maybe I should go away more often!!
