Friday Fun - The Worst Week Ever
Yes, I had a crappy week.
This is just a peek into the life of your humble credit union marketing Blogger.
Monday - Got a call from my dad at 7:30 am. I missed the call on my cell phone and then forgot he had called. I got around to checking my voicemail at about 9:30 finding out that he had a heart attack and was in the hospital. It turns out that he is ok. He grew his own bypass and only needs to take some medicine. My mom and family went to dinner where my wife locked her keys in her car (we drove separately). For those who don’t know, I spent a year driving a tow truck and still keep my lockout kit in my car (slim-jims and car unlocking tools). Dena locks her keys in her car a lot. After half an hour of trying to open her door I had to give up and call AAA. It wasn’t my fault really - she didn’t tell me that her electric car door locks weren’t working. I can usually open her car in less than a minute. It was a very sucky day.
Tuesday - Went to work early to catch up on the work I missed on Tuesday. I am fully aware that I am coming down with something but figure I can “Soldier on”. I was able to make it to a noon meeting with a client but after the meeting I lost my footing while walking to my car. I had gotten very dizzy. I try to do some work from home that night. I sit down at my desk and my chair breaks and dumps me over onto the ground. So there I am, lying on the floor with a mouthful of carpet lint. I look up to see my wife doubled over with tears running down her face. Yeah, she was laughing.
Wednesday - I haven’t slept at all. Now my wife is sick and my little girl is sick. My wife is 7 months pregnant so she can’t take any medicine and my daughter is too young for any really effective medicine. We are all a miserable sick family. I have to bow out on a client meeting. Good thing Michelle was able to go. Later that night while checking on everyone before bed I slam my toes into the footboard on the bed. I still don’t know if I broke one. I fall into bed and hit my head on the headboard. Wife laughs. I go to bed with a headache.
Thursday - I wake up and I can barely speak. I am coughing all over the place. Dena has a doctor’s appointment and Laney is still sick. I am sweating like a hooker in church and am still woozy. I have to reschedule a meeting with a client. I hate missing meetings with clients. I REALLY hate missing meetings.
Friday - Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday. I have been sick for a week and I have nothing special planned. I am screwed and I don’t think she will be laughing this time. Wish me luck!
So in the great scheme of things, yeah probably not the worst week EVER but still…

Well the wife was cool about postponing the celebratory dinner until Saturday. We enjoyed some Japanese food. We had to ordered cooked sushi though since she is pregnant.
I was still tired and a little woozy but feeling better overall. I was really enjoying my new chair (brown leather chair from Costco - super comfy, space age memory foam seat. All I need now are some diapers and duct tape and I would feel like a real astronaut!)
Wouldnt you know it… I woke up Sunday morning with food poisoning. AARGH!
But here it is Tuesday. Wife is happy, work is getting done and my cold is subsiding and yesterday I had a super sexy Barry White voice. I was calling people left and right just to say “Yeah, I love ya love ya love ya love ya baby.” or “I can’t get enough of your love baby.”
Today my voice is a little clearer - more like Isaac Hayes so I have been singing the theme to Shaft and Chef’s Salty Chocolate Balls and Chef’s “Making Love Song”.
Today has been a good day. Thanks for asking 
How’d it go this weekend? I was thinking about you on Saturday…
