No, ha ha! We are still in our practicing phase, if you know what I mean. ;) And boy do we practice…a lot.

She inserts the hot emoji along with the drooling one, causing me to wrinkle my nose. When most of my girlfriends are my sisters-in-law, I’ve heard way more about my brothers than I ever wanted or needed to. I tend to disassociate in my mind who they are talking about, so I can be in on all the girl chats we have without wanting to throw up in my mouth.

Savi

Thanks for the info I didn’t need to know.

Olivia

You’re one of my best friends. Who else can I share these things with?

Olivia

Gizmo?

Just picturing their one-eyed dog with his big ears and huge underbite has me giggling at the phone. I brought him home one night from the shelter because I felt sorry for him, and I alsoknew if anyone would cave to my latest pet rescue, it would be Miles.

Much to Miles’s dismay at the time, Gizmo took to him right away, and the long-haired French bulldog has been with him ever since. He’s now Bee’s best friend, so it worked out better than I could have imagined.

Olivia

Gizmo is a great listener. I’ll give him that, but it’s much more fun to get a rise out of you. :D

I roll my eyes and see the three dots appear.

Olivia

Don’t roll your eyes at me.

I laugh out loud at how well she knows me.

Savi

I wouldn’t dare.

Olivia

Liar.

Savi

Caught red-handed.

I type, inserting a laughing emoji.

Savi

I’d better get through some of this paperwork staring me in the face on my desk. See you in an hour?

Olivia

Perfect! See you then.

I respond with a smiling face and set my phone down. The timing couldn’t be better. Olivia literally propositioned my brother for a night, so she’s the perfect person to ask for advice.

Happier now that I have some sort of plan in place, I dive into my files that I need to make notes in. I have several new clients that I want to review their health records in detail.
