<\/a><\/p>\nTonight I am going to go the event called “Reflect”. \u00a0It doesn’t seem too bad, a night of worship and prayer…plus it fits my budget.<\/p>\n
Speaking of things coming up, it is going to be 110 this week. \u00a0I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary, I just don’t particularly look forward to it either.<\/p>\n
In sports news the Coyotes finally won a game vs the LA Kings. \u00a0The series is now 3 – 1.<\/p>\n
Hmm.. Anyway, that’s all I have.<\/p>\n Work is.. work.. kinda makes me feel like a drone. \u00a0Like I said earlier. \u00a0What can you do? \u00a0I try and try.<\/p>\n This past Thursday and Friday were tough. \u00a0I don’t know why – but my production has dropped quite a bit. \u00a0It has been a big struggle as of late. \u00a0Not the work, just pushing those numbers with the type of work I continue to get. \u00a0My accounts have been filled with anything from repo’s to refinances to bankruptcies. \u00a0Yuck. \u00a0Not quick stuff to breeze through.<\/p>\n It is frustrating to say the least.<\/p>\n just Pray.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I feel like I don’t have anything to blog about.
