This patient approves. . . .

. . . .of me allowing the gray hair to come in. I know this because she told me so.

Sure did.

I saw her today and she said told me that it "looked cute." And I told her that I appreciated that unsolicited compliment more than she realizes.

Then we ended that encounter today the same way we do every time she comes:

"Love you, sugar."

"Love you, ma'am. And you know I'm proud of you, don't I?"

"I know you are, Miss Manning. I know you are."

And she knows this because I told her so. Sure did.


Man. I'm just glad to be here. I mean that.

Happy Monday.
