Today was a good day to wake up. Blake even slept well and I was well rested when he woke up. I didn't even have to go back to sleep for anything. I worked hard to get everything ready for Ben to go to school this morning.
The hallmark of my preparation came late last night after I got home and packed up Ben's lunch for his session of preschool for today.
After I got done with Ben's meal, I caught up on some TV watching on my DirecTV DVR. I finished watching "Mr. Baseball: Bob Uecker" from MLB Network. I love Bob Uecker as 'Harry Doyle' from "Major League", 'George Owens' on "Mr. Belvedere", and as the real life play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers.
As I was sleeping throughout the night, I was doing some weird calculations in my head and I was thinking about all the Taco Mac yummies that I ate last night here at work. For good measure, I saved some for my dinner tonight.
I got to pick Ben up from Preschool, and I was able to buckle him up successfully like I always do. He was very happy to see me and everything. He didn't fight me on the buckle up this time.
Before I came into work this afternoon, I prayed inside my car. I didn't get on my knees or anything like that. I couldn't since I was driving toward I-75. I thanked God for what I have, asked for forgiveness for the sins I committed, and asked God to help me be calm, have a positive attitude, and be able to do what I was supposed to do (all while being here at work today).
I'm feeling better so far. I'm getting my writing practice back on. I have to. Tomorrow is going to be real for me. I'm getting to write some actual scripts for CBS46 News for the 11PM show. I will want to get back to editing so that I don't leave my co-workers behind and that I don't shirk my present responsibilities.
I had a lot of downtime earlier this evening. I was able to dub down from Beta tape my old audition tapes of me on camera and post them to this blog and to my Youtube page. I admittedly cringed by how uncomfortable I looked on camera for my audition from the old KNXV news set. I felt a sense of sadness that it could be the last time I ever get to do that in my lifetime.
I did it!!! I wrote four sample stories from news events throughout the day today. I will have to ramp it up tomorrow since I'll be tasked to write some stories for the 11PM news tomorrow. I'm playing for real this time. I'm playing for a chance to become a writer and a producer one day. I'm boning up on my writing so that all the other pieces can fall into place.
Time for me to go now. I ended everything on a high note tonight. I'll be back for more tomorrow.
Peace.
