Making It Up As I Go Along #382

People
Some people drain you.
Taking the energy out of you.
Making you tired.
Causing heads to ache

Some make you anxious.
Can’t be trusted.
Can’t be believed.
Causing stutters of uncertainty.

Some people bore you.
Words come out of mouths.
They even enter ears.
But the brain fails to register the meaning.

Some comfort you.
Warm blankets of smiles.
Soothing voices.
Words that chase the bad away.

Then there is those that energize you.
Time with them makes you electric.
If forced to choose one, take this.
For these people inspire your best.


TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY...
— Work the day shift. Feel a bit out of it this week of days. Almost like I would have felt nine months ago working. Odd how that happens sometimes.
— Tuesday supper with Geoff was good. The Keg again... good good steak.

THURSDAY...
— Tired. I go back for my afternoon nap before 1:00 and sleep until almost 3:00. Slept last night without the splint on my thumb too. It was more comfortable that way and the improving continues.
— Work is busy for a night shift. And pizza is brought in to get us through.

FRIDAY...
— Tired night at work. Learn some latent stuff with Jason, in preparation for the promotions. But the eyes are heavy from about 2:00 until 4:30. That’s what happens when the afternoon nap is tampered with.

SATURDAY...
— Groceries after work. Bed by 7:00 AM and up at noon. Lay pretty low until 5ish... do some cleaning and try to study some for the promotions but I’m pretty tired... typical day after shift with that.
— Vin Scully calling the Dodger game tonight on TV. Vin Scully is one of those rare people able to make you thankful he’s one of a kind while, at the same time, wishing there was thirty of him... one for each big league team to act as play by play man. Vin Scully is to Blue Jay announcer Jamie Campbell as Wayne Gretzky is to Tie Domi. One being a master of his craft... while the other is simply an idiot. I challenge anyone to listen to Vin Scully call a ball game and not become an instant fan of baseball.

SUNDAY & MONDAY...
— Study days for the upcoming promotion interview at work. Sunday with Leslie, Mark and Sarah involved, Monday on my own. Too nice out to be stuck inside... but oh well.

TUESDAY...
— Should have written today but was too busy with study. Most of the day from 9:00 to 3:00... and then another hour and a half or so for review after supper.
— Supper is an evening out with Laura, Janice and Cara Lea. Good to see Laura... some fine laughs to be had.
— All my fingers can now reach my thumb. So it’s improving pretty well. Still swollen though and I still await my consultation with the plastic surgeon. But I’m hoping they just say physio will cover it.
