August 22, 2018: Not Just Another Day

posted in: Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox | 0

I’m still up.  I’m going to stay up until midnight.  I’m tuned into the Cardinals Dodgers game, rooting for the Dodgers…yuck.   Quite the pitcher’s duel going on.  Who is this Buehler kid?  Buehler, Buehler?

The day started like any other day.  Out of bed at 6am for the morning visit to my office, then out to walk the dog.  My son got up and wanted to watch Quick Pitch.  Not much time for that…he’s back in school.  I dropped him off at school.  Then I came home.  No job today.  I was going to work today, but my wife told me I was crazy:  you have to take off for your birthday.  So I did.

I share the day with my parents, being born on their 6th wedding anniversary.  I would see them on this day as well. But first order of business was to find somewhere to go to eat.  So many damn choices, and the longer we waited to go, the more hungry I got, which meant pretty much everything sounded good at that point.   We ended up picking Parsons; great spot for any of those interested.   Outdoor seating was the key on what turned out to be a beautiful day.  The summer in Chicago is coming to an end…not sure how many more days we’ll have like this.  Have to take advantage.  Also, have to take advantage of the off day, and have a beer for lunch on a weekday; this certainly felt like a vacation day.

It was just me and my wife; not too many of these times nowadays.  I enjoyed it.  It was really nice.  After stopping by my parents, it was on to pick up our son.  Ordered a pizza for dinner; opened my gift.  They sang happy birthday to me.  It was a really good day.

Received many calls and texts; I always appreciate those.  Got a few unexpected gifts like the $42 in instants from some folks at the job; that was really a nice surprise.  Another year in the books.

And around this time each year, I think about my life.  I printed out my resume; I really need to update it.  Not in a bad spot at work by a long shot, but I think I owe it to myself to see what else may be out there.  Rather do it now in an employed situation vs the alternative.  Because you just never know in corporate America.  Have I had enough?

The job is secondary, but is necessary for the family; that’s the reason behind it all.  Unfortunately money has to hold some importance…  As far as my family, I’m truly blessed…always have been.  And that alone is enough to say life’s been good to me thus far.   Feel like that’s one of my sayings.

I’m going to end this day with this blog.  Cubs won…that was nice of them…scoring more runs on my birthday than the other 5 games of the road trip combined.   Cards Dodgers tied up now; I’m not staying up much longer.  Time for some sleep for this old ass.  Good night.

    Happy Birthday #42! Crazy how old we are all getting. Time waits for no one. Family is definitely a blessing, one that makes everything else seem secondary. You are the oldest of 3 and my big brother, who I have always looked up to. Thanks for being you! Just another day…never. Hope you enjoyed it and your party!
