"I Don't Like Mondays"

Well... 

Monday has finally arrived and I'm feeling okay,  not bad at all.

Went to the neighborhood park today and tried to teach my younger son how to ride a bike,  something I had been meaning to do for a long time,  and now that I have the time,  here goes...

I ended up exhausted from teaching my son how to ride his two wheeler.   He's kind of getting the hang of it,  but I still have to hold the back of the seat and push him along.   I didn't realize what a chore it would be.

Anyway,  the WillMaker CD-ROM arrived today,  and I was reading the users manual at a park bench while my wife read her book and the two boys played in the park's playground.

My younger son was "rolling" down a grassy hill nearby.   He had made friends with these two girls (sisters),  and they all were tumbling and rolling down this grassy hill.   It was pretty hilarious when you think about it,  but I was glad they were having fun,  and I was having fun watching them.

I had been swamped with email ever since I publicly announced I had been fired from the band.   There was an outpouring of messages saying how shocked everyone was,  so it wasn't just me.   I had been trying to respond to each and every one of them,  and this took much of my evening.   I still have vowed to answer every one and it wouldn't really take me eons,  but I was replying back with well thought messages.

Had a good talk with Nate,  someone who I could really relate to regarding being fired,  as he too was fired from the band just a month ago. 

I had a hard time sleeping tonight,  which is understandable.

My mind is going through various feelings about last week.   I supposed I was going through the feelings of anger part and betrayal.   I'd already been through the denial part even prior to getting fired.   Now,  in retrospect,  I see all the hints and cues about what was going to happen to me.   Of course,  hindsight is always 20/20 vision.
