The Show Must Go On....
Or Something....
Spent my day off working at Kohls. Ugh.... just not the same place I left.... but I did get to work with my friends, and be ridiculed for wearing camo pants.... by my friend that I ran the Lincoln Tunnel 5K with last year and will run again this year... as I tried to stop her from working and thank her for never returning my text messages. Her answer...
“Torrie, I hear you, but I can’t see you.... but just keep talking....” I’ve been texting her to let her know that I have been “training “ for the 5K and she reminded me that I am in the upper end of my age bracket and have to outrun all of the people that are almost 10 years younger than me and are still driven, serious runners. Thanks buddy!! But today I did get a text from her telling me that she ran 4 miles today and thanked me for the inspiration. And then there were the usual conversations with Sharon that make absolutely no sense to anyone but us and end in uncontrollable laughter.
They are my favorite conversations, when she just starts to laugh, stops everything and says “Have I told you today that I love you?” and hugs me. That makes working in total chaos and “negativity central” worthwhile. (Everyone should be so lucky to work with someone like that!) But yes, the place has some serious issues... You know it’s bad when one of the managers opens the door for you in the morning and says.... “What the heck happened to your shoe department? They are fighting like cats and dogs back there!” Yeah...they are. I guess I really was good at my job there. I never had those problems.
After work, it was time for my weekly drive to my window for a photo.... praying that no one else showed up there because I really didn’t want to have to explain THIS! I would have felt very very foolish. And yes, I did wear this costume.... back in the day... on stage.... in front of people.... and it was a blast! Later my son stopped home as I was getting ready to go out and run and he told me I didn’t have to go, and we went out and got something to eat. When he was leaving, I said I was going to go out and run.... and he said “NOW?!! In the dark? That’s not very smart. You’re not really going to do that?!” So after he left, at 8:45 pm, I went out to run.... in the dark... with a flashlight and a head lamp.... and when I was done, I sent him my screen shot from Map My Run... and he texted me back ... “You’re Nuts!” Yes, yes I am. But.... the show must go on! Because I’m not going back to work tomorrow and having to admit that I missed a day... something about goals.... and deals.... oh, and something about raspberry syrup!! ; ) So, yeah, the show MUST go on!
