Alligator Love

[Zues126]

Hey Sunny, I was just going to check in on you. Alligator wrestling! Funny how one day you didn't know such a thing existed, the next day you don't know how you lived your life without it

Weekend is going fine. I was SUPER lazy last night and this morning. Breakfast in bed, playing some chess, reading a bit. Now I'm off to a pool tournament. It's a local one day event, nothing much, just something to do because I like to play.

Last night I played in the rec room at the apartment I live in (I rented this place SOLELY because it has a pool table). There was a woman using the kitchen in the room to make a cake and we made a moment of small talk. Anyway, I started practicing and forgot anyone was there. A few minutes later she came over and asked me if I was getting ready for a tournament. I realized I hadn't missed a ball since I started playing. I just said something like I don't play much anymore but was just 'reliving the glory days'. I do take pride in my game, though, and it's always good for a kick when people have something nice to say. It's funny to imagine how that would look to a third party, just some guy walking up to a crappy pool table in a rec room and proceeding to rain table runs. Hey, I spent 20 years of my life, a lost college education, a lost marriage, and half the lives of my children to get to where I could run those tables. Let me enjoy it

So off to shoot a bit, then will try to kick it in gear for tomorrow. I need to get ready for work next week. July and August were so ridiculously good I feel embarrassed about what they paid me. September is starting slow, not terrible, but it's been a grind. Still, I feel like next week will be pivotal in determining not just my September, but my October as well. Times like this I just feel it's the 'clutch', and as a self proclaimed champion it is time for me to buckle down and put in some hard work over the next week. If I play my cards right I can salvage a respectable September and set up for a good fourth quarter as well. And while money isn't everything, it helps a lot. Also, I just feel better when I'm destroying all of my sales goals.

Then it will be back to kid time, and the cycle repeats.

I do have updates from my lawyer meeting Wednesday, it just took me so much energy to get through that part I am enjoying having that behind me at least for the moment. A few days of regular life with the D process just looming there in the background. But it's all good today.

Have fun Sunny!
