The Bounce

As opposed to yesterday, I woke up a bit later than I wanted. I slept on the floor no less which have made me wake up earlier like yesterday. I find my mattress too deflated for whatever reason. I know what your thinking........its not that.

I had a bounce in my step all day. I got to meet some very high officials today that weren't in my area of work, but I learned after our brief conversation that I could easily move under someone else's wing if you can catch my drift ; - ). In my future, I can see a bigger paycheck. I'd probably have to move to East Texas; though, I have NO problem with that.

A steady day,, as always I began it compared to my cohorts who usually lag a bit in the morning time. I was at peace; this was the first thing I noticed. I asked for it and I got it! Boo Ya!

I pull up a screen and there it is.......that birthday. That date seems to get in my face from time to time especially when I need it the most.

I finish a case with 5 minutes to go until my lunch time. Is God smiling at me or what? Peace, new prospects, smiling ladies, laughter my unintended joke (don't you just love those!), and heading to lunch on time, what a beautiful morning.

Dairy Queen near my building got a much improved face lift, or shall I say an interesting lift! The interior looks very contemporary: dropped fixtures, bar chairs and tables, reclining sofa style benches........good job new management! I noticed the new manager too. She's nice.

As I admired the work put into the place, I thought of my dream of having my own nightclub some day. I think I know how to do it; I've seen some fine bars in my day. One only needs to walk the ways of the Belagio or MGM Grand or Venetian to get a sense of the big time. High class attracts high dollar.

So there I was smiling and admiring the place, waiting on my steak fingers. To my right I notice a family walking up. I notice their little girl; she was a beautiful child. This precocious 5 yr old carried herself as if she was a teen. I would love to have a little girl. If I have a boy, he'll probably be too much like me........oh God no. The Deity can only handle one of me in his lifetime.

I get a bling bling on my phone. As I struggle not to drop my phone into the cup of gravy, I notice that it's J! She actually texted me today; she made no explanations other than the fact that she was fine. Thank God, I was worrying about her the past couple of days. Very nice! Chicago, we have contact!

Afternoon, it ended great with a recommendation to my boss. It was a nice day at work. Funny how the good times go by so fast.

I actually paid attention at Mass. Solace......it was nice. Rosary went well too. Afterwards I would go buy one b/c I keep losing mine throughout the years. The one I wanted was a mahogany, almost a grape color of wood. It looked old, antiquated---I wanted it. It was 40 bucks. I opted for the greyish metallic--16 bucks. The smile I got from the blonde at the counter--priceless!
