rain

I got the dreaded text from Maybelline the night before and was reminded that I was Q the next morning. No factor, whip up a quick Weine and all set. There was one problem that I didn’t know was a problem at that time….rain. I checked Slack before going to bed and there was a comment about puddles or rain  in the morning. Well……crap. Gotta come up with something else but it was too late. I’ll wing it tmro, too late, gotta get some sleep.

Then I wake up and hear the rain. Surely it will stop soon. Maybe no one will post. Was that thunder? Maybe just swing by the Teeter and pick up some gift cards for coffee??? Anybody remember that one?

Oh well, get my butt outta bed and let’s get this thing going. Fortunately 4 other idiots posted this am. They made me a better man this morning and that’s really what matters. I really didn’t want to be there. I had plenty of excuses saved up and it really just came down to I did not want to let them down. I told them thanks for posting, and I have done that before. However, this time I REALLLY REALLY meant it. No disrespect for the previous pax I have said that to before. Today seemed different and I’ll say it again-thanks for posting.

We did some exercises. We stayed off the ground for the most part. We did some hip slappers but not too many. We got back in time for COT then everyone went on their way. I thought about this morning multiple times during the day. If you are reading this, just know when you don’t post, you don’t make an impact on someone (for the most part). Not being there once or twice (or more) may not seem like a big deal. However, I’ll argue, at least based on my experience, it’s a really big deal. Think about the opportunity you are passing up. Possibly making an impact on someone who maybe just needs that push to get over something big. We’ve all been there. Hopefully there was someone who intervened before we made that really bad decision. How about reaching out to that Kotter and getting him back out here? Better yet, get that guy you EH’d a lot last year but eventually just gave up and stopped asking?

Be there for your brothers-they need you.  See some of you tmro.

thanks for the opportunity to get out in the rain on a day I really didn’t want to be there-Whoopee
