Wednesday

Tuesday was good at work. I had 2 sales on Monday so I was able to move up from 22/94 to 9/92. I was able to enjoy the fact that I went in Monday. I did my part what I was supposed to do. I got my sales game on tighter and I reap the benefits. I was writing about how I was grateful for having comedians in my life, and I am grateful and thankful to be able to do a nice run of open mics. I know how sick comedians are and I know that it often doesn't take "guts" to get on stage, but it is often the only time comedians feel normal.

Tuesday I wrestled with giving my friend "ray" at work a gift card. We have a Ralph (THE REVERAND) we have Ray Smooth or Two Change as his nickname is...so we basically have three Rays. Back to my story. Ray was being hammered on Monday with different challeneges and he did good. I wanted to do something to let him know that teammates pick each other up, and that hard work is rewarded. I prayed and I came up that I was going to talk to him seriously for a second. I told him what I know and that is that if you hang in there and don't take it personally, you maybe lifes punching bag, but you will get paid in knowledge and in money. Most people play the victim (the vicky) or they take things so seriously and they don't know how to lighten up. Anyway I feel like that is the closest I get to God when I know in my guts something to be true and I am able to pass it on. Most people know that I am telling the truth, that the reward for being patient and loving isn't right there in the moment, it is over time life gives you people and money and other things to enjoy. I really enjoy being a coach and there is a long list of growth between Kurtis and others that I am grateful to help people walk through, just as I was able to walk through with Raymond, My dad, The ElderStatesman, Byrdman, and others.

I heard a story the other day about a lady who is very nice getting banned from a bar for being drunk, she almost got tresspassing charges brought against her because she got kicked out in a black out woke up and went back to the bar the next day not knowing she got banned. I chuckled because I got kicked out of the Hi-Ho one time and I was so embarrassed. Today I don't have to deal with that crushing embarrassment. My only problem is how to feel my day with things that I deem fun and value-able.

I was able to go for a walk today. It was quite annoying because they are jackhammering the sidewalk. I got the walk in and even though it wasn't fun. I got it done and kept up my skills of getting my butt to walk and kept the routine going.
Andrea is not responding to texts because she is still mad at me. I have nothing but love for her so if you are obsessing about my blog! Let me know you aren't dead LOL.
I am at the library typing this because I am so glad the kids are back in school. this place was full of little tax deductions all summer and now I cam come back here and blog in peace.
