14 days -- too long!!

So, I am actually having blog withdrawal -- along with all else that's been going on!
Here's the scoop-- (mainly about me... more about other topics once this is down on "paper"):

First - I came down with a cold.  Normally, no big deal.  However, you are the public and you (& I) do not want to be greeted,  served, or to have your hand shook by someone with cold & flu symptoms.   So, I followed the advise I give to all our workers -- stay away until you are well or at least until you are through the worst of the symptoms.  This is not my SOP -- however, I left on Monday 15th late morning, stayed away all day Tues and came in midday Wed.  While away I mostly slept & I definitely needed that; hence no blogging.

The rest of the week seemed like catch-up time and although the thought "blog", crossed my mind, I didn't get to it.  I did get a chance to marvel at how well all the front of house staff work together & how well they know the importance of customer first & service.  I also see where some additional training will be useful for all.  2009 - opportunities for improving!

Then,  I was zipping around a sink in the kitchen, there was water on the floor, and I slipped & fell.  Bruised & aching -- I had to take another couple of days to get back into the fray!  For those who saw me on Sunday the 21st - Wed the 24th --- I may have said I was fine -- I have a tendency to say that.  I was not.  Thanks for your concern.  
Again, I rested & there was no blogging.

So, here we are the day after Christmas 2008.  I have a volume to share with you all and I will do that in a short series of blogs this afternoon, evening & throughout the weekend.  

Then, it is my intention to become a daily blogger.  I hope that some of you who come into the shop and say that you read the blog may decide to participate a bit with me.
