So finally, the day arrived that I couldn't get out and walk. Hopefully, the walking I did while accomplishing my errands this morning was enough to keep my momentum. I was wide awake at 4:00AM. This has got to stop. I'm exhausted by dinnertime...in fact, I cooked my dinner at 2:00 because I was feeling sleepy, but also hungry. So I baked a chicken breast with lemon/dill seasoning and steamed some red potatoes and broccolli. It was nice. Then after I ate, I stretched out on the sofa for a snooze. I had just dozed off when the phone rang. It was my friend, Marge. I had told our other friend, Becky that I would try to join them for drinks this afternoon...of course, that was out of the question...I was spent. I feel a little bad. I really need to force myself to get out more. I am lucky enough to be healthy at my age, I shouldn't waste it.
I did my usual Friday morning thing and picked up coffee for me and Kim at Dunkin Donuts, then continued on to the airport for our weekly visit. It was earlier than usual because I had gotten up so early. Good thing. I hadn't been there much more than a half hour when the new "owner" walks in, scowls at Kim and barks, "Socialize on your own time." We sort of looked at each other wondering if this was a joke. "What", says Kim. "You heard me. Socialize on your own time." What a dick! I really wish I had the authority to tell him that I've been in meetings to get his ass fired. A much more savvy businessman has approached me to pick my brains about the business because Avis decided to get rid of this guy, Ron. He's a dick to employees, a dick to business associates and most importantly, a dick to customers. He spoke to Kim as though she was an imbecile or a five year old and he completely ignored the fact that he even knew me. I don't care if he IS on the rag, he still needs to be civil to people. I wish I could be there the day the brass arrives from Hartford to rip off his epaulets.
Day eight...woohoo!!
