Phenomenon
There is this interesting occurrence that happens in the restaurant business. Of course there are busy days and slow days, just like in any business. During the summer it is busy during the weekday nights, I guess because there isn't any school. When school goes back in session it is bussier on weekend nights, I guess because there isn't any school. Last night was really slow. The local college basketball team had a game. Sorry all you UK fans, but I hate University of Kentucky sports. I don't get why such a big deal is made over such a thing. Maybe it goes back to primitive times when war was the way to show your manhood. Now it is competitive sports. I think it is stupid.
So, I said that to say, Christmas is coming. When the money part is your responsibility it gets quicker and quicker every year. We don't buy our kids a lot at Christmas, just 2 gifts each, one they need and one they want. My In-Laws are very generous in their gift giving and the kids don't need more from me. Last year went well. There were some money issues but some wonderful friends helped out, and I really appreciated it. This year is going to be fine too. I just have a tendancy to worry about such things.
There are a lot of special events going on this month. Our community is "sponsoring" for lack of a better word, the regional all group. I am looking forward to that. Having friends in the house, sitting around talking and having a good time. Palmer is getting married this weekend, heading up for that on Saturday. So, in the slow season I am missing 2 weekends of work. That worries me. I know it shouldn't because God has taken care of us in much worse times. So, I should just shut up, enjoy these awesome events and not worry.
I have a to do list that needs some work on it. May you all enjoy the special events of your life with no worries!
