Ooh, you think you’ve seen it all
Walkin’ ’round the city with the sun at your back
You think you’re so cool
‘Cause everybody knows you, but what’s so good about that?

Oh, ’cause I’m
So sick of dreamin’
Oh, and I’m
All that I’m needin’

Ahhhh, back to working 50 hour weeks again. I missed it, and man do I feel right at home. I recognize that this behavior isn’t good, and is borderline toxic, but I have had so many people thank me and shake my hand and be so appreciative for our service this past week, that it’s all worth it.

I’m working on things of unreasonable hospitality. Custom birthday menus regardless of party size has been my big one and people have really appreciated it.

You know I learned something valuable in that 9 months of agoraphobia. Dreaming is overrated. Dreaming is for people who play is safe. I used to be a dreamer, but I’m not anymore. I’m done playing it safe. We only get one chance to make our impact in this life, and I’m not going to miss mine by playing things safe.

I’m going to start doing more things that scare me. Speaking my mind, playing for keeps.

I think this week not only gave me my confidence back, but it reignited the fire in me for food and drinks and hospitality. No more dreaming. Time to make it reality.

Oh, ’cause I’m
So sick of dreamin’
Oh, and I’m
All that I’m needin’

Where the skies are gold not gray,
