Gina's Mom has this little bench. About 18 inches high, miniature little park bench. Metal all rusted, wood dried out. I felt sorry for the dried out little thing that sits out in her front yard. So I asked how she felt about me perking it up a bit. She said her son, my BIL promised to do it for her about 5 years ago. I didn't want to interfere with his deed but she says if she waits any longer for him, it'll be another 5 years 🤣So I took it to work asking my boss if she wouldn't mind. She said go ahead. Then Gina took her Mom to Home Depot for some stain. She picked an antique type color, stain and sealer. $5, not bad.I disassembled it painted, stained, then put it back together. Wow, MIL was so happy. She loves it!She's so funny. I put it back where it was in her front yard. She said NO NO NO! It's so nice somebody might steal it. 😆😄😆 But this woman has been so good to me so it was nice to put a smile on her face. 😊 So many good things, even at work. It's policy for our company that if there are employees working outdoor in 90+ Temps, management must hold a meeting as a reminder to hydrate, an all the heat exhaustion stuff.The guys who wuss out and have wuss ou doing my task roll their eyes as if to say Yeah Yeah like whatever!Hey, it's important enough that management has everyone sign a form noting they were reminded. Same cry baby guys that have to go in inside at 10 am because they get dizzy in the heat. 😪So at the end of the meeting, Rosie asks if anyone has any questions. I asked if they planned to buy anymore electrolyte packets as we were running low.Yes sir! Other guys look at me like I'm a nut because I want the electrolytes. So Rosie says yes they're getting more. Then later in the afternoon, the supervisor says, I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. I asked what French fries? He was on his lunch break. 😄He steps into the next room then returns with a box with electrolyte packets box of 50. He says this is just for you, the whole box just for you so keep it in your locker so the others don't get them. Then he put a box out for them to share. Heck, the last box, I think I used most of them. That's cool, they respect the fact I try to stay hydrated. The other clowns don't think nothing of it. I learned about hydrating through cycling. Maybe those clowns need to take up cycling. Maybe they'd be ok when the thermometer hits 85.For, not one day have I had to ho inside because of the heat. Been 105 max out there 8 hours no issues. 😉But today was just awesome all around.
