Christmas gifts from DCfamilies to you

[Wonderwiper]

Today I have received 2 bottles of wine and a ton of chocolate!!! I don't drink but my DC parents are all funny and say "if I were you I would need a bottle at the end of the day!" and that makes me feel like they notice/appreciate all the hard work I do.

One DC parent (who already gave me huge box of goodies) said she ordered something online for me that is delayed so now will just be delivered to me..can't wait to see what it is!

Another parent paid me for my whole time off even though I only require payment for stats!! Woo hoo!

I may or may not have had something chocolatey for snack!

I've been spoiled rotten this year! So far, for Christmas, I got a $50 gift card to our local mall, a $25 gift card for LCBO and a $35 gift card for Chapters. Aside from that, my clients have really come through for me in a huge way. I had to have surgery last week which was stressing me out beyond belief. I was so worried about taking a week off now as well as 2.5 weeks at the end of January to go to New Zealand. I was sure people would complain and I'd have to postpone my vacation. EVERY ONE of my clients said I would absolutely not postpone my vacation and I was to take as much time as I needed off for my recovery. When I came out of surgery and my head was clear enough to check my phone, there were multiple text messages from all of them checking to see if I was okay. Text messages every morning to check on me followed as well as deliveries of flower arrangements, gift baskets of coffees, chocolates, etc. Offers of help with groceries, cooking, etc came in. 2 clients came to visit me with the kids. I had to book 2 extra days off because the surgery was 3x longer than expected (I'm tuckered)....not one single complaint....not one! One client is even insisting on paying me for my entire time off! I just can't believe how well this has gone.

All I can say is 'Wow......just wow......' I'm completely taken aback, in a very good way
