Here’s a fun quote I woke up to this morning from a friend who had emailed some words of encouragement after reading about me being in the funk…
So keep on keepin’ on. Because eventually Funky Town is going to become the night life, and you look like a guy who can boogie.
Thanks, Will.
It’s definitely been a rough week. Work is picking up as fall rush approaches. I’m also training a new employee and scheduled her to be with me most of the day Wednesday through Friday to try to move the training along quicker. That said, it cut my time I had to work on other things so I quickly fell behind each day. I hate that feeling.
J was on vacation this week and left on Tuesday to go visit his family. It’s the first time he’s been away and I’ve had the house all to myself since he was gone to training for 3 weeks in December. Now we all know time alone is important so I thought I was looking forward to it, but by the time each workday ended I was too exhausted to do anything except veg in front of the TV and then go to bed. The dreams were weird; the nights too short. And it’s always an odd feeling like stepping back in time to 5 years ago when I came home to an empty place everyday. You soon realize you don’t really like it, and I found myself wishing Friday would hurry up and get here because he’d be back home.
His birthday was yesterday. He’s 38. And it’s too bad I will still be at work today when he arrives home and walks in the door. I’ve decorated the house with HAPPY BIRTHDAY signs and balloons. I’ve wrapped all of his gifts and put them on the table. I’ve hung curly ribbon all over the chandelier above the table. I hope he’ll be surprised. Ya see, we don’t usually celebrate birthday and holidays with much splendor. We buy each other gifts, sure, but we are usually with each other when we buy them and we just hand them to each other right then and there. I got my birthday gift a month early. So, this was fun to plan this week. I’m sure he’ll be surprised. He needed this.
I think I needed it too.
