My First Day in a Nutshell

So here’s my first day at CTN in a nutshell:

There’s a new Tim Hortons on my 5 minute drive to work! 

My new boss and two team members met me at the top of the stairs to yell “Welcome” (like it was a surprise party). 

My desk area was decorated with ‘Yay ,welcome Heather’ signs. 

Three of Zack’s amazing therapists are a few desks away…one has a photo of him. 

The washroom is across from my desk and I’m drinking lots of water- so that’s going to be perfect. 

Two thoughtful friends sent me a lovely plant that I hope will survive. 

I ate the lunch that my amazing Paul packed for me. 

I tucked in a shirt for the first time in forever and got to wear BIG girl shoes. 

I set up my desk using the amazing stuff the kids picked out just for me (yay for breath mints, Mio and a new purple notebook). 

I have placed photos of my incredible family all around me, including a framed one of Zack and me. 

I chatted around the ‘water cooler’, started straight to work on some ideas to build a great mentor program for parents of kids with special needs and I even got my own phone extension! 

Still wonder if Zackie sent this just for me? I don’t. 

Can’t wait for tomorrow.
