Treatville

So, feeling like you need a treat.... come to my work. There is a surgeon that arrives (rather afternoonish to be fair)... and he rarely shows up empty handed. Saturdays treats coming in a box form from the bakery... a generous assortment of cookies. Sundays treats were assorted flavour of taco chips.... and you can't have chips without dip. So, now that you're feeling loaded in carbs and fat... along comes a family member that is appreciative of the care that they have recieved. A beautiful box of Purdy's (fine chocolates)...... of course those are opened immediately and begin to disappear fairly quickly. Then there's the lovely staff member that has worked on the ward for a fairly long time... and she brings in something to delight the tastebuds!!! So, it really turns into a feeding frenzy. Except for those carb crazed, highly resilient, brave souls that can keep their intake to a minimum. Yae for you.... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MISSED! Now, I say that with humour.... cause if I were to eat all the treats that were handed out... I wouldn't make it out the doors to leave.... so Treatville is really an opportunity for myself to practice moderation,.... sometimes....!!! Today is Thanksgiving for the Canadian Folks... and now I am afraid of what may appear......
