I had to slow down a lil and read these again for them to sink in. This was after I’ve gotten my fill of clowning around today. And that was after a rather difficult morning where I called a friend, they came over and helped me out with a flat I just didn’t have the willingness to fix. Plus the tube had one too many patches in it so I became willing to call a friend indeed. (nope he didn’t have any weed. didn’t even ask). I found out that my friend had a terrible terrible morning today.

He lost his keys… Yep, night mare.

So I bitched and wined and we laughed and got stuff done. I paid him. Friends pay sometimes. He would have helped me for nothing and loaned me money too. Didn’t even ask me for money for the new tube and 2 more new tubes for my mountain bike wheels. With big ass knobbies, so cool under me. Real tough lookin.

He lost his dang keys this morning!!!

His girlfriend told me about that as they were leaving. So I sent him a note after I got done saying stuff like

I can’t beleive it n That dude’s amazing and Wow!, that’s so cool.

The note said… well, it was encouragement. You guys already got lots of advice about keys, n other things that shine, huh?.  Shiny stuff. It’s a nightmare. Then it hurts less.

while something I valued, I knew that I had to limit my involvement and learn to say no in order to remain balanced. This makes it much easier to take on projects or not. It took me a while to get other people to respect my limits though!

Thanks Nellie, that’s good and helpful too. Both.

TTYL 🙂
