Week Not Quite Done Yet

I should have had a nice quiet victory lap kind of Friday after the UDS report stuff from the week. And this morning I sort of treated it like a TANK FRIDAY. Except that my morning got interrupted first thing by a phone call. Of course it's Lisa, asking for help. Her internet is down and she of course needs it for Johnnie's classes today. She told me it had been down since Tuesday. I wouldn't be able to deal with my internet being down a few hours let alone a few days. I don't know what I can do really other than to tell her to turn her router in the attic on and off which usually does the trick. Apparently she had already done that and it didn't work. I told her to try it again and see if it works this time. Of course I was just buying time doing due diligence. And then I headed on over there. I figure I might as well try to fix it myself. Predictably what I tried didn't work either. And so I told Lisa to simply call Jorge who had set it all up and was going to be in the area today, AND call SPECTRUM to see if the problem is with the line somehow. Something tells me all the yardwork Lisa's crew had been doing may have cut a cable or something. Anyway she got an appointment scheduled with Spectrum and that was that. She decided she would take Johnnie in to her office and he could do his classes there. All good. At least she had a pretty good Plan B. I went on home and got a couple of sausage McMuffins from McDonalds and went home to have breakfast. By then it was still only 8:30 and I should have hopped into the shower and started my day. But instead I did some meditation/frequency listening sessions and by the time I got done it was 10 AM. I'm going to call it my ME time for the day. And from there I basically just did my required Paycom training for another hour and so all that took me to lunch already. So why did I post a pic of me being FRUSTRATED? Because I thought I had skated through the day until just like this morning the Universe seemed to be intent on giving me a test. This time it was an email from Emma asking if we were ready to submit UDS reports. James had not responded to my emails asking for status all day, something which he does quite often, and something that irritates me to no end. Only when I emailed him towards the end of the day letting him know I was irritated that he hadn't responded and how unprofessional that was did I finally get a response. And it would seem Dennis hadn't entered all his comments in either. So I'm really confused now. And I decided to do a Zoom call with all involved. At 5 PM. On a Friday. Before the 3-day weekend. Which is EXACTLY why I was irritated at James. We should not have waited this long. But we did the Zoom meeting and afterwards at least I felt better that we were on track. James would finish with his corrections and comments and so would Dennis,  James would let Dennis know when he was done and Dennis would let Emma know when we were ready to go. It would appear Dennis might not have saved a bunch of his comments either. Anyway by 5:30 all was done. E..x..c..e..p..t  I was supposed to meet Lisa at the bank so I could co-sign on her 14,000+ check <that I ain't getting a dime of BTW>. She called me first but I was in the middle of my Zoom call. I called her back right after but she didn't call me back until it was past 6 PM already.  I guess we missed having our window for the bank. Lisa said she was making dinner with Michael Villanueva who was over visiting for the weekend. And she wanted me to come over. But I by then I was in the mode of the first picture: FRUSTRATED. And I did not want to be social. I wanted to regain balance. I wanted to get the feeling of peace and harmony. That IS the fundamental difference between Lisa and I. Lisa deals with it by socializing, being around people and talking to them. I deal with it by going back in, and needing to be alone. And tonight I needed to be alone. And so I made up some story about how bad of a day I was having because of the COVID vaccinations. I don't know why I needed to lie. But I did just so I could have a more profound excuse other than I didn't feel like being around people. Or talking to Lisa. I simply wanted to chill out on my Friday night. Alone. I took a walk in the neighborhood. Cleared my head. Watched the Lakers beat Memphis.  Not exactly the chill Friday before a 3-day weekend. But it will have to do.
