~Day 2• 50: Reverse Claustrophobia

I love my job.  I work with some really fabulous ladies.  They know how to 'un-stress' some stressful days.  Today was one of those days.  Gini (top left) used to sit next to me, but she got a new position in the company.  So she moved buildings.  She came back today and it was great to see her!  We took a picture for her standing under a sign that read "You Dirty Rat." We were going to have a stuffed rat dressed up in Disney clothes since she loves Disney.  But the rat was in Texas.  So we have a stuffed beaver instead.  It was the source of great entertainment today.  Many laughs were had by all.  We sure miss Gini in our office!

We went down to the cafeteria for lunch today.  I normally don't get out for lunch because I forget and just don't go.  We had some good posole (pozole?)  for lunch and some conversation today.  I found out there is a thing called 'reverse claustrophobia.' I'm sure there is a medical term for it, but someone doesn't like to be outside on the open ocean on a large ship or in the mountains with the black sky full of beautiful stars.  Someone gets nervous.  Yes, I laughed at the term 'reverse claustrophobia.'  And I'm not going to say who the person is.  I need to go on a cruise with her to rid her of this fear.  I think she should purchase my ticket and call it medical research.  Or Blackmail for keeping her name a secret...

The kids have loved having fish in the tank.  Nick discovered we really have a couple of puppies in our tank.  If you stick your finger in the water, the fish will come up to and start to nibble at it like it's food.  I think he trained them.  It was really cute to watch!  Ashton wouldn't do it, but Brookie loved it.  I couldn't stop laughing.  So fun!  And I don't think the fish are claustrophobic...
