I remember working with this guy who was an absolute asshole. It was in a restaurant and he was just an asshole. I cannot describe him another way. He would make employees cry or walk out, scream at other managers (He screamed at me once, that was the only time), but just a horrible person.
But when he went into the dining room, and went to guests and they asked how he was, he would smile and say “Let me tell you…if I was any better I would be twins!”
I think about that because I cannot fake my emotions. You can tell my mood by talking to me no matter who you are or the tone of a text. I know a lot of people online can do this and hide their mood. I am kind of glad I cannot. It makes it more pure.
So I can confidently tell you that I am the best I have been since I lost my business in 2018. Forget financial issues, that will always be worked on, but mentally I am happy. I am finally feeling like a person again. Not like a burden. I have written some dark posts lately because that is how I have felt. But things finally came into place. And it wasn’t easy. And someone helped me get there. Someone who wants nothing in return but for me to be happy. I swear I did not think people like that existed.
So my weight loss is going well, but I have not consistently hit the gym. That is changing. I am going every morning to do cardio and then working out with my son three times a week. His baseball is really doing well, so I am excited about this season. And he is 14 so he is getting ready for some showcases and what not. It is a whole thing lol. But I made a promise if he does well in school, I will support him in any way possible. He has straight A’s.
Daughter is reading away. Well ahead of where she needs to be with her summer reading. Really excited about her viola playing as well.
So overall things are good. And I have been doing well with selling sports cards. Something I took from as a kid and transformed it. I have regulars I sell certain player to and I actually like Ebay! I am as of today ranked 761 in sports card sales. It does not sound that impressive until you realize there are 362,871 card sellers on Ebay.
Anyway, I am ready to share a little each day. I will do a little politics but kind of straying away from that. I think helping local reps who I respect does a lot more than coming up with creative names for Bobo.
So thank you for being here. I have lost some subscribers and I am okay with that. If you cannot love me at my worst then you do not deserve my best. I always say become a paid subscriber but I will continue to keep posts free. But you can message me if you are paid. And this is one of my main sources of income, so if you like what you see, you can always throw a tip here.
Great to read the uplift in your "voice" today - celebrate your continued health journey, Ebay success (that is remarkable Tony!) AND your family's achievements. All are noteworthy!! Thanks for the read.
