Back To Summery Warm

As is the case when there is an emotional hiccup involving Lisa at the Johnnie pick-up, the morning is spent really in emotional recovery. And I gave myself healthy doses of meditation and healing frequencies to get me in the right frame of mind. To be specific, that means reminding myself that EVERYTHING IS ME PUSHED OUT. And it is MY emotional reactions I need to observe and determine what needs to be cleared. It is ME that needs to watch my own angry reactions and infuse a healthy dose of forgiveness to everyone involved. And in the middle of all that FIND WHAT GRATITUDE I CAN FEEL FOR ANYTHING. Even thanking Lisa for the learning opportunity. And so with that I almost started to head towards a reprise of last week when I basically tanked Friday and stayed in all day long. First of all, the sense of solitude was already undone by Lisa herself when she called me this morning. I thought we were going to talk about last night again. But nope, she called because she desperately needed help in her front desk tomorrow and asked me if I could man the front desk. I was almost stunned really. But I also realized the level of desperation that she has to call me. It wasn't even an ask. It was more like YOU HAVE TO DO IT. Lisa being Lisa. And so I agreed, even though I realize that would pretty much wipe out a leisurely day with Johnnie, because now he has to come along too. Still, maybe it's a penance of sorts that I have to do this as a good deed. So much for taking Johnnie to Universal Studios huh?! For the 2nd Saturday in a row! Oh well, there was another work meeting this morning, and that was the planning meeting for the Town Hall in November with all the principals involved. That one got done before noon. And so after that I FORCED myself to go out and enjoy the sun. I walked to El Pollo Loco and got myself a double chicken tostada salad. Won't be eating that on Monday when I'm in Vegas. Besides who knows how little I'm going to end up getting to walk some steps tomorrow if I'm working at Lisa's office. I decided I'd get as many steps as I could TODAY. 

It really WAS a beautiful day today. Just look at the selfie I took. Looks like a summer picture.  I was going to hunker in and find a movie to watch, maybe head out to see the new James Bond movie. Maybe put a steak on the barbecue again like last week. I was almost about to doze off when I got another call from Lisa. It was already past 5 PM by this time and it was clear she had already picked up Johnnie because I could hear him in the background. She couldn't find her phone but she was sure it was still at the office. How I end up being her lifeline for these things I don't know. If it were me I'd just grab Johnnie and simply head on over there to look for it. But apparently Johnnie was in the middle of making a "feast" for mommy and son. And now he was inviting me to come over and partake of said feast. I did want to talk to him to see if anything came of the apology letters. Lisa had written to Ms Huang that they were coming.  So much for me getting credit for getting those done huh?! I was going to meet Lisa at her office to look for it, but she seemed more intent that I come over to her house to help Johnnie make dinner. I think she just simply wanted some more work time at her office and get stuff done without Johnnie in her hair. To do that obviously someone had to watch him. Which I was only all too happy to do. After all I will end up losing a day with him next week. Look at the pic I posted of him making that feast. He had everything out! So Lisa took off and I helped Johnnie finish with the dinner prep. All he really needed was the pasta and Prego for his dinner. And I even augmented that with some more chicken noodle soup. As for me, typically there isn't anything in Lisa's refridgerator that I would be eager to eat. Salads mostly. Yawn.  But this wasn't about me, this was about making sure Johnnie got his dinner. And so he did, and I washed the dishes. And 45 minutes later, Lisa came home. The kitchen was already clean. And since I'm coming back at 7:30 tomorrow morning I made my leave too. And detoured myself to Taco Bell for the third Friday in a row. A burrito and a couple of tacos works for tonight. And then I got into some work energy. As in I started to work on my Tech Council presentation. Until 1:30 AM!! Hey it's like I actually worked rather than stay up late to the same time watching something on TV. I was tired and I knocked off very easily. And I have to look forward to working tomorrow. At Lisa's office. Strange to say that... is all I can say.
