Waiting One's Turn

Jim doesn't like to play favorites and tries to abide by his own rules in the Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic. So, when a sweet, elderly Carmelite nun came into the hospital and asked to see him, he told the receptionist to have her wait her turn behind several patients. After about two hours, the good sister was ushered in - only to present Jim with the convent's homemade bread and jam as a gift. No medical complaint at all. And so it goes....

What a day for you! Insects, weapons and a bread bearing sister! I feel as if I'm reading a novel. Stay well. And thanks for sharing your experience.
