A friend called me this morning to ask me if I had received the flowers he had sent. I was surprised by the question because I had not seen any flowers, nor was I expecting any. He told me he had checked with the florist and been assured that they had been delivered yesterday. It was news to me. I tried to call the office to see if any flowers had been delivered for me and got their answering machine, so I headed down to the office to check. I was happily surprised to discover, as I waited for the elevator, that our newest new elevator is up and running. It's very exciting to have two smoothly functioning reliable elevators. But, back to the flowers. I got to the office and was pleased to discover it was open. When I walked in and asked the sweet young thing at the desk if any flowers had been delivered for me she assured me that they had been delivered yesterday and that they were very pretty. She pointed to them sitting, wrapped in their green tissue paper, in a corner on a shelf. She then explained that she meant to call me yesterday but forgot. I remained calm, didn't say anything scathing, just grabbed my flowers and left. I rode the newest new elevator back up to my apartment, unwrapped the flowers (they really are beautiful) and called my friend to assure him they had arrived and thank him. I still wasn't quite sure what the occasion was until I read the card "Now that you can see, you will enjoy these!" Yet another bonus to cataract surgery.
