Last Day with Johnnie For the Week (?)

So this being a Thursday and a day after Tech Council Meeting Day, and an HIT Roundtable Meeting Day at that, I remembered that meeting would be the sole focus of the day. It was kind of like a tank day even. The meeting would be done by 2 but I would go shopping at Macy's. Or how about shopping at the Gap Factory on Hill? How many times had I done that? Not any more LOL. In fact these days I'm in shorts and T shirt as I drop Johnnie off at camp Penmar. That's about as presentable as I am going to be this summer. Johnnie seems to be doing well picking up on the new routine. I don't think I could say the same of Claire. Look at the pic of her just clutching at Johnnie's vans shoes (that he didn't wear today). It was like she still had to be close to him somehow. AS for me, with a team meeting and a 2-hour CCALAC meeting today, that pretty much constituted my work day. The CCALAC meeting did last 2 hours even as we ran out of stuff to talk about since it was just the chairs and CCALAC staff that attended the meeting. Oh well. And Myself and Donny got asked to serve as co-chairs again for the next year, because no one else volunteered to run. I see I have to help figure out topics that would increase engagement. The OCHIN meeting right after that was uneventful too, and I would venture to say Eloisa is actually encouraging me to change things up a bit by having internal meetings BEFORE this one as this one would be more of a "what can we sell you next" kind of meeting. Anyway I picked up Johnnie a bit early today which was just as soon as the OCHIM meeting got done just so I could get him his late lunch by 3 PM and we could still get to dinner by 5-ish, anticipating of course that perhaps Lisa would be early for the 2nd week in a row. AND I still did a wash load since he was supposed to wear his camp shirt tomorrow. I wouldn't find out until way later that Fridays they don't have to wear the camp shirts. DAMN IT! Still I'm glad Johnnie is in a creative mood when he comes home and you can see from the pic that we he gets engrossed with something, he's really into it. A budding engineer such as it were. My plan went right on cue for the most part. We got Panda Express at 5 PM and we were home well before 5:30. Of course keeping on her never-the-same-pick-up Thursday, Lisa did not have an early pick up today. What I would find out later on was that she did finish early but elected to go home to take a nap. And when I called her not only did she ask if I could simply drive Johnnie to her house, but she also needed a favor tomorrow as she is going to a doctor's appointment early. Now I have to come by and get Johnnie and drop him off at camp. Actually that I didn't mind so much. She asked me to come by at 7:45 and that would be the time Johnnie is finishing his breakfast normally anyway. Of course I had to listen for a little while about Lisa's latest affliction, which is a bout of UTI. I've lost track of how many times she has had that. Anyway, another Thursday night hand-off all done and then I went on home to clean up. Not so much to do this time around. My apartment is still fairly clean from this past weekend's cleaning round.  And so that gave me the opportunity to crash and watch Episode 2 of the latest offering from the Marvel MCU: Loki. And then I reminded myself I still had to be up early in the morning. No Day passes to print anymore but I still need to lock up a tee time at 6 AM for Harbor. It's all good. The weekend approaches.
