11-07-22 Jump bag
This morning I awoke more rested and ready to take on the day. I was getting ready when I received an email that they were desperately needing a bar tender for the Tom Cochran concert tonight at Key City. I accepted the gig and decided I should throw together a bag with my Arby’s t-shirts, black pants, a black plain shirt for Key City and my boots. I took it to work with me but left it in the car which was not the best choice as the clothes were very cold when I changed for my KCT shift.
I was looking for a book when I noticed my Tarot card which I haven’t used in a very long time. I was motivated just to draw a card but decided to do a reading as I have been struggling with wondering if I want someone in my life. As I shuffled, I let it run through my mind if someone would be and addition to my life or take away from it. I have been.. jealous I guess of duel incomes that are getting to travel a lot right now. I was not surprised, pleasantly confirmed of my own space with what was drawn out. I did take pics of the one that summed it up. I guess I knew it but somehow this is comforting
The day was ‘insane’ as I had lots to do and took many calls and email, even had a good long visit with a client that I didn’t charge for as it was good for both of us to catch up. We talked about his hope to take his 71 year old Mom to Peru. Brad is a good guy and I am glad he reached out recently for me to take him on as I knew him when I was at the firm. Another client came in who I have known for years and I am afraid for him as he is a year younger than I and has lung cancer. We had a moment as he told me he is downsizing his business and taking care of things. Peter has a young wife from the Philippines and a toddler. I am so sad for all of them.
The good news at the office is how pleasant things are again with the ladies. Whatever was causing the standoffishness seems to be gone and the last week and a half or so has been good. I sat and had a good talk with one of them today and it feels like the old days. I am glad that the negative has passed, it makes the days so much more enjoyable.
There was a good deal of snow today.
I was scheduled for a couple more shifts this week on drive Thru and frontline. This will be something new and I hope it is the payment taking and handing over of food as I enjoy that part. I am afraid to take orders, lol.
I went straight from the office to Key city as I bartended for the Tom Cochran concert. It was sold out and busy but I worked for the first time with Chris, a retired nurse and we had a good time running the upstairs gallery bar. There was a young boy with a dad or grandad who was there for his first concert which always makes my heart happy. The opening act sounded amazing, although I didn’t catch who it was. Through the speakers in the lobby, Tom was amazing as always, I have seen him a few times now.
Before I pulled into my parking I got out and shoveled for the first time this year. I always like to keep it cleared so ice doesn’t build up. It is that time of year, I am saving on the cost of the gym, right?
A wonderful moment in the day was getting a call from a woman I very much respect asking me to be part of a readers theatre radio play in January. I am definitely on board!!!
