Dusty told me on Monday that he needed to cancel me on Friday. Dusty handles all of the scheduling so I didn’t question why he had to do that I just said “okay.” So when I get into the training center, I tell Phil that he is a “date breaker.” I told him that Jesse was a “stander upper” and he is a “date breaker.” He told me that they will be short-staffed on Friday (he still was coming in) so they had to make some changes. I come back with, “Oh, so I’m expendable?!” He gave me a crooked smile and said, “NO! Shut up!” and grabbed my leg to begin stretching me.
I totally get it. I was just kidding with him like I did with Jesse for standing me up. It was the second day I was at Barwis and the first day I would be working with Jesse; I was scheduled at 9 a.m. But Jesse wasn’t there so I worked with Jon. Jesse shows up about 9:45 and came to talk to me and asked me how I was doing. I told him that he stood me up. He said he didn’t know that I was coming in. He thought he had to be to work at 10. I messed with Jesse about this the entire time he worked with me. I probably will mess with Phil for that long too!
So I didn’t go to Barwis yesterday. Phil told me on Wednesday as he was working with me, “you’ll miss me.” I came back right away with “not as much as you’ll miss me!” I sent Phil a text yesterday morning comparing me not being at Barwis to a night without stars, coffee without cream, pancakes without syrup, and the Philadelphia Eagles without Chip Kelly (he digs the Eagles and Chip Kelly). I said it would feel like he was wandering aimlessly through a sunless world and to take heart because I would be back on Monday and all would be right in the world again. Ha! That text was funny to me because it was silly. Honestly, I think I missed Phil MORE though. My body hurts quite badly. Last night when I got into bed, I laid down on my back and I both of my legs “boing”ed up. They haven’t done that in SO long! But I did not get stretched out yesterday at all so I was feeling it today like I was last night. So really, I will look forward to Monday MORE when “all will be right in the world again” because I am going to go to Barwis.
