Apparently I've been yelling at people. Every day is a story. I'm Shannon Cason. Is Wednesday. I hate repeating myself, but when you care for older family, you have to constantly repeat yourself. Nobody can hear. So I just talk louder. I talk as loud as I can to not have to repeat myself because it's annoying repeating myself. I. Another side subject, some of them tech bro types like, I go to work meetings or networking meetings, and it's always some dude who's like, what's that? What's that? What's that? I just never repeat, you know the guy I'm talking about. What's that? I never repeat myself to. I'm speaking English. I just don't respond. Why I say, you heard me. This is a separate subject. But you know who I'm talking about. But I talk loud with my older family. I came back from Chicago to Detroit to help out my older family, to help take care of everybody. My. My sister was doing way too much. And then my daughter's here too. And I want to be a part of my daughter's life. See her, because once she gets off to the races, I know she's gone. She's doing good. She's a junior, going to be a senior. Once she's gone, I know she. She gonna be out of here. But yesterday I. I had to take my uncle to the doctor. And so I'm talking loud to him the whole time. And he wanted to go to Cracker Barrel afterwards for some takeout. He just wanted some get some takeout so he could put them in the freezer and eat them later. Then I called everybody in my family to see if they wanted some Cracker Barrel, because Cracker Barrel, let's be real, Cracker Barrel is the shit you can't really hate on Cracker Barrel. You can not like some of the issues they have. You can be mad because they've changed some of the advertising and stuff like that or marketing. But you're going to go to Cracker Barrel because good food is the great equalizer. Everybody goes to Cracker Barrel. So Cracker Barrel, treat everybody fairly and we will continue to come and we go continue to come anyway because the food is really good. But. But treat everybody fair. Cracker Barrel. Enough on that. But I'm in my. I'm in my cut season. I should say my cut season. I'm losing weight during this season, so I don't get any Cracker Barrel. You know how hard it is to go to Cracker Barrel and not get any Cracker Barrel. But I'm focused. I talked about this yesterday. I'm focused and I'm disciplined. And this would be my best fitness year yet. I'm probably gonna say that every year, but so far, this is gonna be my best fitness year yet. So I don't get any Cracker Barrel, and I'm proud of myself for that. But all day, I'm talking loud with my uncle. I go in and talk to the people at Cracker Barrel. And I'm loud with them, too. I'm loud, telling them, hey, I want. I want non pancakes. Put three in each container. But they're used to it because a lot of old folks eat at Cracker Barrel, you know, so they used to it. Then I take my uncle home, and my auntie, she wants me to go to the store for her to get her two cases of Pepsi. Now, I've been going to the store for my auntie all my life to go get her some Pepsi since I was a kid, since I was like 7 years old. Go to the store, give me two cases of Pepsi, and. And at 50, I'm still doing the same thing. And I gotta talk loud to my auntie, too. So I'm talking loud to my auntie, deliver my auntie her stuff, stopped by my mom's house to deliver her her Cracker Barrel. Cause she wanted breakfast from Cracker Barrel as well. And she asked me to repeat myself one time. Then I just started talking loud to her. I started talking even louder to her. And we got a good laugh from that. Because I was talking so loud, she just had to laugh at herself. Um, then I take care of mom. I stop at the gas station, fill up the car before I go home. And I'm still loud talking. I gotta talk loud. And everybody there, you know, the neighborhood I live in, the gas station. Loud talking is normal. Because it's plexiglass. Everybody's behind plexiglass, so I gotta talk loud. Then I finally get home, take my jacket off, take my shoes off. That feeling of being home in my own domain. And there's my daughter Zoe. My beautiful daughter Zoe. Come here. You know, I'm yelling at her too. And she comes at me with attitude, like, why are you yelling at me? I'm like, my bad, my bad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just wanted to hug. I need some oxytocin. That's what we always say. I need some oxytocin. But it showed me how you can transfer habits from one environment to another environment. And you don't even notice it. You don't even see that it's happening. So what's something that you picked up from the people that you're around? Maybe it's at work, or maybe it's in a friend group that you have that you didn't really need to bring home with you. Let's talk about it.
