2019 Joy Journal

August 30, 2019 Got to talk to Beverly last night,  and Angela and Tori. Beth and Rodney have made it safely to Chicago. Got to see Morgan for a minute yesterday when I took her the cookies to take to Amber.

August 30, 2019 It is so hard to walk away from the waves.

August 29, 2019 Barry said at The Breakfast Table this morning and said he realized that there wasn't anything Wonderland related that he needed to rush back to the office to do. And he said depending on how he looked at them there wasn't anything about his projects that he needed to rush back and do. Didn't really make a whole lot of difference whether he emptied the fuel out of that boat today or tomorrow. The same is true and several other things. I said that's a big shift isn't it when you realized it you're of scribing how much importance belongs to something and how urgent it has to be? And he said it is. To just be able to sit here and enjoy my cup of coffee and the company and The View it's a good thing.

August 27, 2019 Went to the Minority Business Accelerator Kick-off reception last night and had a good time. Kristi July has stepped down from the board this year because her business is going to be in the program. I got to meet her husband because his business is going to be as well.  Heard from Brittany and Angela and Beverly and Beth yesterday. Beth and Rodney made it back to Houston safely from their trip to Vegas. Made good progress with Quicken / American Express yesterday, so I am starting to see some daylight there. 

August 26, 2019 Made some progress with American Express. Had a nice visit with Tyler. Got a text from Beverly this morning.

August 23, 2019 Today is Jaden's birthday!  Heard from Amber today. :-) She starts her next college classes on September 11, at a campus that is right around the corner from where she lives. 

August 22, 2019 I sent Andrew a birthday message, and heard back from him. Heard from Brittany --- she and Jon Marc should be at Second Sunday Supper.  Heard from Skyler --- she is excited about her turtle things that Nana sent for her.  Heard from Angela and Kennedy. Ken's planning on being here for Second Sunday Supper. Angela was spending some time today in a department she hadn't spent much time in before.  I went to my first handbuilding class with Juli Day today, and had a good time. She's a kind of encouraging presences and seemed mostly happy. That's always fun to be around.  Barry took Tyler to his class, so I was able to get some good licks out in the office. Not a full afternoon, but didn't fall behind either.
