Anna was at the grocery store across from Grady High this evening, and ran into Matthew. Not sure what M is doing with his hands.

Worn down from all the busy-ness. Discouraging. Not just work. The actual job and work and people aren’t that bad, but there’s too much work to do in the 40 hours, especially when others are out on vacation. Our team was reduced from four people to three when the virus hit. Now our customer is back running full speed. My boss has had to step in and handle some administrative chores, and he’s also been given lots of other additional work as well. He and others are working a lot longer hours than me. I’m happy to have the job and don’t want to be the only one complaining. I don’t want to be one of the only people not coming into to the office. It would be easier to work longer hours from home, but in the office I have two screens and access to a printer and other resources.
I did get one other chore knocked out today, and hope to get another taken care of tomorrow. But I looked at my to do list and was reminded of several more. If I can get them knocked out one every day or two, that will be good. Also a lot going not just at work but everywhere else. And the virus just goes on and on, and all the other crud going on in the world. Gotta keep my mind focused on Jesus. God has answered several of my specific prayers recently, and I’ve tried to be thankful. Sometimes (okay oftentimes) I eat too much, and I’m trying to not do that as much.
Rough afternoon yesterday. Worked past 5:30 then headed home. Ceil was at her women’s ministry. Usually I might grab something on the way home but tried to be good. Skipped out on a couple of other errands as well.
There was some orange chicken I could’ve fixed but wasn’t feeling it. Made toast instead with butter and jelly. A changeup from PB&J. Plopped down on the couch and watched a few training videos for a project I need to work on. Also watched The Weakest Link and later the first two episodes of Seinfeld. Much different from the later seasons.
Read an interesting article on NFL chain gangs, and how oftentimes the jobs are passed down from one family member to another. The same people keep the job for 30 years.
SHAWN GREEN [B-R Bio] is the only player in major league history to have a six-hit game where four of those hits were home runs. On 23-May-2002 playing for LAD, Green had a career day at the plate against Milwaukee Brewers‘ beautiful Miller Park, a venue barely a year old, with a single, a double and four home runs. 19 total bases! Never been done—before or since. He played for ARI in 2005-06. He holds the Los Angeles Dodger record for the most doubles in a season. Green hit 49 2B in 2003. Only Johnny Frederick’s 52 in 1929 are more for the Dodger franchise. The only time Green led the league in 2B, however, was when he hit 45 in 1999 for TOR. He donated a portion of his original signing bonus to help feed children in the city whose team he had just joined. He was drafted by TOR as their 1st round pick (16th overall) in the 1991 MLB June Amateur Draft & received a bonus of $725,000, opting out of his scholarship to Stanford. Green donated a chunk of his signing bonus to the Metropolitan Toronto Housing Authority Breakfast Club which provides breakfast for kids who would otherwise have gone to school hungry.
