So did your therapist hang up your lovely gift? It must have made you feel so happy inside if she did ... I'd smile every time I would see it. I struggled and struggled to think of an "office-warming" gift. And came up empty-brained-idea.
Since she was having surgery and would be hospitalized for two nights plus a long recovery, I decided to give her a "recovery box of smiles". I included some random items in the box as well as a few nice things: a good book, really nice candle, wind up toy, chocolate, mints, puzzle book, etc. I would not let her open it in front of me, so I'll never know if she liked it or not.
I liked her new office for the most part. It feels like her since it's all her same stuff. The shape of the office is more square, less rectangle and the most awkward part ... I look at her at a different angle. Funny how that threw me. And I'm physically closer to her too which is un-nerving for me. The down side of the office: hallway noise. I can hear chatter from the other therapists in the shared office space and doors opening and shutting. Huge distraction. Before, she had her own office space so the only noise I heard was from traffic. I think the traffic is better than humans talking.
I won't be back again for at least 3 weeks. But she did send me a text the day after her surgery letting me know she was okay and doing good.
