Yesterday, Kevin was pulled into a meeting and told that, if he wishes, they would like for him to become a full time trainer. He said he’d have to think about it. Hee :)

Yay! Promotion! I was so excited I did a little dance, and had the gumption to get all of my dishes washed.

I my work news, I had a fair day. We had a meeting yesterday and nobody got yelled at. This is good. Today, however, they pulled me aside and said that I’m going to have to do marketing calls to people who are interested in my programs. Fair enough, but I said since I’m so bad on the phone, I am going to need help - ie a script or fifty. They kind of laughed, but I said I’m serious; if I call to order a pizza, I have to first write it down to make sure I get it right. I was told that I can be given any number of scripts but I have to develop my own style; I said yes, but I cannot develop a style if I have nothing to start with. I don’t know how to do this. I need something in front of me that I can become familiar with in order to I talk to people on the phone. I am going to be The Face Of The Company to the people I’ll be speaking with, and it is unacceptable to me to have a stumbling person who seems a little .. stunned.. as The Face of this company. And I am stumbling and a little stunned on the phone, especially with people I don’t know. I am not sure they get that, but I’m going to make sure I talk with our marketing gal and get the help I need.

This morning, I finally got in to see my knee doctor (I phoned him in September). He says the inflammation is extreme, and gave me a grocery bag full of drugs - samples - that I am to take once a day to reduce inflammation, as well as a series of exercises that I am to do three times a day, and in six weeks I have another appointment. Three times a day. If all of this does not improve me, the next option is more surgery.

Three times a day.

I have got to do this. I have to. I know I’m a slacker, but goddamnit, if I can get into the habit of eating healthy food, then I can certainly do something that will also greatly improve my quality of life, by way of helping me walk without pain. And maybe someday I’ll run or kneel again.

And while I’m at it, while I have a doctor in my head shaking his finger at me - I’m going to do some or all of the Pilates exercises while I’m already flat on my back, at least once a day.
