At peace outside with my dogs

I downloaded an ebook "Please have patience with me, I'm grieving." I wish the owner of the flower shop had patience. Today was his first day back after five days off. I had been off nine days so didn't know this. I wanted to pay for my mother's funeral flowers, but he hadn't updated my account yet. So when I asked him about paying, he became defensive. No problem, because I can pay on the account and when he updates the money will be there. He had too much going on. He is giving my son, daughter and me, 2 days of bereavement pay. Our coworkers chipped in and bought us a beautiful sympathy card and a gift certificate to a restaurant. It was so very thoughtful! I am trying to write thank you notes but I can't establish a rhythm. It would be so much easier if they were only from me. I would know how to address my aunts, uncles and cousins, but as it is, it's a mess. I worked for an hour and a half and got 7 written. The only time I feel content is when I am outside with my two dogs.
