On Facebook I saw someone posting that they needed extra softball players. so I gave him my number. I got asked to play on Tuesday! So excited. Got all pumped up, got to the field, stretched, tossed the ball around to warm up and even had my name on the batting order (batting 8th in RF). Then MINUTES before the game starts a couple of players that haven’t been showing up DID show up and I could see the coach was wondering what to do. I offered to take off, maybe next week.
DANG IT, LUCY!
Then a couple of days before that I found out a guy I was in the Marine Corps with and was going to have a surprise birth day party for him in Colorado and I was seriously thinking of going…well his dad is going in for surgery so he’ll be recovering and that means the party is called off. I was hoping a weekend with him and his friends would be something different, something good for me.
DANG IT LUCY!
Then, lastly, I have found a great job. Wonderful schedule, love doing what I do (making sand cups for testing molten metal…way too complicated to explain here!). I get a 3 day weekend every week, working 4 10-hour days yet still getting off by 3pm. The people I work with are nice and friendly. Yet, the steel industry isn’t doing very well so we are slow. It’s going to pick up again (they say) but will it take 4 weeks or 4 months (or longer)?
DANG IT LUCY!
Throw in Laura falling off to the side by really not keeping in contact with me I feel like…
DANG IT LUCY!
I hope things turn around. Not looking good as of today (6-4-15). Tomorrow is another day but every tomorrow has been the same as every yesterday. I NEED A BREAK!
And someone kidnap Lucy.
