Not exactly a day at the beach

Monday, August 31, 2015

I was working the BOND lunch today and it was supposed to be a beach day. I like beach days because they order the main course (usually sandwiches or pizza) and all I need to prepare are the fruit and veggie trays. But I always forget how much effort it takes to get everything down to the beach and then back up again when lunch is over.

But I didn’t need to worry today. Due to the rain and wind they moved beach day back to the hospital, our usual meeting place. They ordered pizza, and I prepared the veggie and fruit trays as well as making a Ceasar salad. Even with most of the work done for me it was an extra long day.

I didn’t start packing leftovers until about quarter to three, and it was almost four before the dishes were done and the kitchen was cleaned up.

I’ve still got hand stitching to do but I think it will be an early night for me.
