a day of honest work.

i started writing a message to a guy i got to know really well earlier this year, today. the message started out with me saying hi to him, then saying that i couldn't see him when he thought he might be free to do something.

the message went on. i responded to his anecdote about dreams. i said i was sorry for the fact that his dream was not good (he said his dream wasn't good), and that i do not like to dream. i really don't like to dream.

i ended the message with me asking him to tell everyone i said 'hi.'

after i wrote the message, i finished up a lot of laundry and decided that i ought to go over to the DoubleTree to hand in my uniform and say goodbye to everyone.

i went over to the DoubleTree with my uniform in a grocery bag, my nametag was in there too. one of my favorite co-workers was working at the front desk; she took my right hand in both of hers when i came up to her desk. it was a really lovely moment, i moved my hand towards hers and she just held it and said that i was blessed. i will miss her a lot.

she let me in to the back office and everyone back there crowded around me, patting my back, squeezing my arm, smiling. they all said that they really liked working with me, and that they will all really miss me. the majority of them were all pleasures to work with. they want me to come back around Christmas to help out. i said i'd probably be back.

in any case, the reason why i'm writing is because i was listening to a song that made me feel like i was on a boat on really calm waters. it brought the feeling of my balance being subtly embraced and softly leaned to the right or left.
