There comes a time when you realize that one Good Year blimp just may not be enough. As it turns out for those days, there are actually two Good Year blimps.
What this also means is that the Nascar racing season starts this week and the area is overrun with fans, tourists, race teams and a couple of blimps. I have also had several celebrity sitings at work this week. Joe Gibbs, former NFL coach and current Nascar team owner, came in for a cup of joe (haha) last Sunday. And then on Monday one of the ESPN Nascar commentators stopped in. As I was making his beverage, I totally called him out on it's lack of appeal. Decaf, non-fat, no whipped cream. I said to him in the middle of a busy morning, this is one big old cup of no fun you got here! He did laugh. And I am leaving his name out of it on my blog because he did seem to be a nice guy.
So while the title of this letter to home is seemingly about the picture above, there is actually another reason for it. A few months ago at work one of the shift supervisors transferred to another store. At that time I spoke with my manager about the possibility of moving into that position at some point. We were busy with the holidays and filling the position didn't seem dire so the discussion fell by the wayside. I know I haven't been there that long but feel that I could handle the responsibility of the position so I at least wanted to get on the track toward making the move some day. This week another shift supervisor handed in her two weeks notice and filling her position is a bit more necessary. So, in about a week I will begin my training for the new position. Several of the other shift supervisors have been supportive, encouraging and singing my praises to the manager which is greatly appreciated. It feels like the next natural step so I think it will be a good move.
The weather here has been pleasant the past few days and my schedule has allowed for me to get out and enjoy it. I'm trying to work up to running a 10k so once or twice a week I leave Jak home so that I can run a bit farther than I do with him. I noticed he looks a little stiff the next day if I push him too much so I have to be aware of that. Today I did about 3 miles and probably ran 3/4 of it. Or so I'm telling myself. I am just grateful to be living where I can get out and run (or walk with Jak) in February. I was just thinking today how lethargic a cold, snowy winter used to make me. I love my family and friends and miss you all. I don't, however, miss a New England winter.
That's enough news for one day. Keep it real, peeps. Stay awesome!
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
