01-26-23 Arby’s and Daughters
I read the book I got for Christmas before I went to bed last night, and it seems like no blue screens or noise for an hour helped me to sleep better. Ironically, I usually fall asleep with the TV timer on and set to Big Bang Theory. The only problem with it is that it is about two inches thick and hardcover.
I took care of volunteer things at the office before heading for a two hour lunch shift at Arby’s. It was nice to work with both Rae-Anne and Ashlée. It was slow so the last half hour I watched training videos and received certifications. We have been too busy to do it sooner but I have done well enough to qualify. I will miss doing this as it strangely satisfies.
Back at the office I got another file completed and feel like I shouldn’t need to work this weekend so I answered the call for two short volunteer stints at Key City tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon. They have been very supportive of my event coming up and it feels good to give back. As of today the contract is signed, the event insurance is purchased and all is ready for the Monday launch! I am so excited that I have decided to share the digital media a few days early on here. Hopefully this is just the beginning of building up ‘a jake’s mom production’ business. I received a call from my friend Doug today to discuss MusicFest stuff and we had a good chat about all things production. I am so excited he is coming to Cranbrook! I told him the show was three days before my 60th and he surprised me by thinking I was much younger than him, not the same age. That was sweet.
Once I got home I just watched Saturday Night Live and puzzled. I find that different light conditions make it easier to do. I still worry that some pieces are missing. If they are all there, I have intention to glue it together and then I may varnish it and turn it into a floor mat. It would be awesome in front of the kitchen sink.
I am once again on the edge of a cold, feeling that itch in the back of my ears and nasal drip. Today, a day time cold pill helped. I think I will proactively take a night time one and get some sleep which should kick it. Sweet dreams, or have a great day, y’all.
