All by myself

Today was my second day… and I was all by myself.

I have a check list to do as I walk in the door. Was fine being alone… I turned on all the lights – hung the wreaths, put out the mat, opened the blinds… and then that music again lol… it’s so soft and peaceful – very heavenly music… ALL THE TIME… for some reason even when no one there – we just have to have it on… by the end of the day – I was like uhhhh ok enough with the music lol

I love peace and stuff – just by the end of the day, I was done with that music… was a 9 hour day!

Most of the morning, I straightened up the “service room”… I vacuumed dusted … just looked for things to do. The place is immaculate at this moment lol – wait til they see tmrw… it smells all nice etc

Then about mid day… the phone rang 😳 … eh ok … so I answer … hello, Such and such funeral home, this is (my name) – how can I help you?

Well it was a hospice nurse… calling in a death 😳… ok my first one… so I have a sheet of information I need to get from her – so I went down the list… got all the info…

When I asked for date of birth – I just wasn’t thinking anything major when I asked – but this person was born in 1914 😮… making them 105!!

What a life!!! Imagine what they have seen!!! How incredible!

Well anyway… the nurse had not been able to get a hold of the family yet… but a woman at my other funeral home (we operate out of 2 different ones) she helped me enter the info so we could get the body picked up.

That was the big thing of the day – my very second day… and first day all by myself!! Handled it like an ace!! ❤️

After all that I was starving, I was running late this morning so I didn’t make a lunch… instead I ordered from “door dash” … you can get any food you want from any place and they will deliver (I was only one there so I am not allowed to leave until end of my day)

So I have a favorite “sub sandwich place … so I decided to get that. Nothing to expensive or crazy. Just lunch.

Well anyway… when ordering I forgot to say was a funeral home 😄😄😄 … all I put under instructions was “ring bell” lol

So the app is texting me telling me he is almost there… well ok I will watch for him…

I see a black car drive by slow and go by 😄… then he turned around and slowly pulled in up to the front…

So I opened the door… and it was just funny – I am all dressed up really fancy … I had a black blouse, with this really beautiful peach satin pencil skirt with black velvet roses on it – very funeral home looking lol – my hair was all done up and curled …

So I don’t know if his reaction was the way it was because I looked nice or because it was a funeral home lol

But he was really attentive … and made sure I was happy before he left … and so I asked him… “I tipped on the app but do I need to tip you here in person?” And he was like “no no it’s all good, I just want you to enjoy your lunch. I hope you have a really good day!

He was really sweet – I think he was a little taken back by the funeral home? Maybe a little ??? Not everyday does someone deliver to a quiet funeral home – and you just expect Lurch from the Addams Family to answer the door lol

It was funny! He was very nice … that was my first time ordering food like that.

The rest of the day was very peaceful and very quiet… I finished up a couple things and then was time to go.

I’m really tired – I did a lot of work today. And learned a lot…

I am really loving this job… it’s funny every single job I get – I just love… I was worried

Although is only day 2 so let’s not get too ahead of ourselves … but I can’t wait for next week!!

Oh yeah and then on my way home – I had to stop at store and get a few things … well I look like I am coming from a funeral lol

Which is a little funny because people are very empathetic… everyone was being really nice and kind of looking at my clothes … so I think they assumed I must have lost someone … no one asked … but the looks and all the kindness… I think so??? Cause would you guess that person dressed like that actually works at a funeral home? Lol

I dunno ??? But was funny

I had a great day ❤️ I love this job!! Then tmrw I be with all my kids at school… what a wonderful life ❤️ I love my jobs!!!

Well I am so exhausted I am going to be an old person tonight and go to bed at 8pm 🤨😄 … I cringe to go to bed THAT early but whatever – I’m exhausted

Gnite ✌️
