So last night was my big comedy show. I performed a 30 minute set, which took almost 40 minutes with laughter and dealing with obnoxious people, but I'll focus on the laughter. The event was a fundraiser for the Lincoln High football team. Ther were around 200 people in atendance. A lot of my jokes are about my gastric bypass surgery. It started off very well and I think ended well too. Overall I think it was a huge success. This is the first time I have ever done more than 6 minutes at one time. I was very nervous, not just about doing the show, but also about going out. I said this in my act, and it was the truth, last night as he first time I've worn real pants in two weeks. I've just been in gym shorts or pajama pants. Why not? I'm recovering from major surgery.
Anyhow, the show went very well I think, and everyone I know who was there that I have talked to seemed to agree, but boy did it wipe me out. I put everything I had in to that show, and it took it's toll. Immediately after the show I couldn't get up for 20 minutes, then we got home, and I crashed. I didn't wake up today until Noon! Except at around 9am when Kayla and Jessica came and woke me up asking me to help Kayla. Seems her tooth was loose, and bleeding, and they wanted "Dr. Daddy" to take it out. Which I did. Now, if you were there last night, you know my ending joke is all about me being the resident tooth fairy at my house. So ironic that I have to play that role tonight. Anyhow, after I removed the tooth, I went back to sleep.
It was a great experience,and I look forward to doing it again. For now, it's back to rest time. Last night showed me, I'm not ready for to much activity or excitement, yet.
Oh, and as far as weight loss goes, I am now down to 259! I haven't seen the second number in my weight as a five since I first passed it in 2000. I am officially the lowest weight I have been since Kayla was born.

Wow, a 30 minute set? That's looooong, awesome job! I really hope to make it out to one of your shows someday, but not when my laughter could put me into labor. Wait a minute! I SHOULD have gone because then maybe Jayden would already be here! Congrats on having a 5 in the tens place in your weight. It was great seeing you last Friday, you already look much healthier and slimmer in the face. Woo Hoo!
