So, I have to share this story because I am so touched by this gesture I don't know what to do with myself.   Long story short-I work the evening shift at an very busy emergency room. On my days off, I have been known to sleep until noon, even 1pm.  This morning the door bell rang and woke me up.  Those of you that know me know that I don't wake up very nice.  In fact, I generally don't speak until I have had two cups of coffee.  Well, I managed to fall back asleep and the doorbell rang again, this time with pounding on the door.  I stumbled to the door and opened it with a growl.  There was a little lady standing there.  "Are you open?"  Uh, WTF?  Oh yeah, I live next to a dental office run out of a home.  "Isn't this the dentist?"  "Do you see a sign?"  OMG-what a little monster I am.   She apologized profusely as she backed away.  I grabbed the papers and slammed the door.  Later, I laughed because I really didn't mean to be so rude but I have no control over what comes out of my mouth until caffeine is in my bloodstream.  When I came home from trivia tonight there were flowers and a kind note on my door step.  "Sorry for spoiling your day".  Uh, no-I AM sorry for spoiling your day sweet lady.  Thank you for making mine.
