Taking it every day I can
KG Betty: I just moved a few weeks ago; once I’m settled in it’ll all start sinking in. How about you? Still super happy? I hope everything is good with you!
Me: I wouldn’t say I’m super happy but you just reminded me of a song I’ve been listening to called “Way Less Sad.” It’s got a line goes, “I’m not happy yet, but I’m way less sad.”
Been chatting with KG Betty again.
She reached out to me a few times while Alison was sick but I couldn’t pull myself together enough to chat with her.
Or anyone, really.
Afterward, I was even more of a mess.
But, she always kept in touch, something I really appreciated. And she’s been dealing with her own stuff these days so I reached out to her.
Like I always said, old friends are such a valuable thing to have in your life.
I’m grateful for the ones that have stuck around.
Speaking of friends, my buddy Katrina was in my area the other day.
Her boyfriend was part of a bartending contest at our fave rum joint, Tiki Chick, to raise money for EPIC: Empowering Pacific Islander Communities.
Wanted to go – both to see them and because it’s my regular rum joint – but I was dealing with more tech issues, which I’ll tell you about one of these days.
Me: Sorry, was a crazy busy day with my network going down. Very annoying.
Her: That sucks. But it’s okay – you’re a busy guy
It’s a shame that I couldn’t make it but I figure they’ll do something like this again in the future and I can make it next time.
Until then, back to fixing this @#$@#$! network…
What I told KG Betty and my buddy Owen is true and I think that pretty much sums up my entire mindset these days.
I think that once someone deals with a double-whammy loss like I did, happy is something that seems very quaint and far away.
Way less sad is a win in my book and I’ll take it every day I can.
Obviously, the Firecracker has a lot to do with this, so I’m grateful for her as well.
