Can We NOT Have Any Lisa Drama?

This being the Thursday and the day after Tech Council Meeting, I expected it to be a chill day. And actually the only thing on the docket today would be the Parent Teacher conference with Johnnie's teacher Ms Hwang at 1 PM. Unfortunately gone are the days when I would spend today at the CCALAC HIT Roundtable and sort of waste the day away. But hey I would sort of waste the morning until the CCALAC meeting at noon anyway and so today can sort of be structured the same way. I grabbed lunch at Chipotle so I wouldn't be hungry because who knows what happens after the meeting. I told Silvia I would take she and Gayane to Penmar Park playground until I had to pick up Johnnie from school. So first things first: the parent teacher conference. Already Lisa was dealing with drama. She needed Silvia to drop off her medicine but of course Silvia was not too expedient about it. And so Lisa cut it close with the 1 PM meeting. But as it were, we managed to have an uneventful meeting. It was good to hear that Johnnie had started to behave better after he realized Ms Hwang talked to us about him and there were no more behavior issues since. AND it warmed my heart to hear Ms Hwang say that Johnnie is one of her highest performing students and that he got along with everybody. He only needed to focus a little more on not making careless mistakes. He only made a couple of them but hey look at Lisa and I being perfectionists wanting Johnnie to get 100% score on everything. I guess we'll just have to settle for 95% for now. And so meeting over and successful I made a quick stop at Burger King. I figured I needed a snack and threw in a chicken sandwich for Silvia.

LISA's DRAMA And so I went to Lisa's house to meet up with Silvia. First she wasn't there when I got there. She got back 10 minutes later obviously from another Target run LOL. And then she needed to put Gayane to sleep. I was confused of course... how were we going to go to the park to play if she were asleep. So I just figured I'd show her all the entertainment stuff Lisa had access to and didn't know how to show Silvia. And so I did. Showed her all the stuff on Amazon Prime, on Netflix, on Disney Plus. Why she would be sitting home bored at any time I'll never know. We never did make it to Penmar. Because 4 PM snuck up on us pretty quick and that was the time I was going to pick up Johnnie. And I still had to go back to the apartment to gather up Johnnie's stuff and pack up the dog. My mission was to drop off Johnnie at Lisa's house and supposedly Lisa's parents were going to take her home. I guess I'm not staying long tonight. By the time I picked up Johnnie it was already starting to get dark and I at least wanted to make sure Johnnie had a good dinner. And so off we went to Mitsuwa to get him some udon and tempura shrimp. By the time we made it back to Lisa's house it was already 5 PM. Boy did the time go didn't it? I stuck around long enough to make sure Johnnie had his dinner and then off I went home. It was Thursday night after all and to me this WAS the Johnnie hand-off. Until I got home and realized that once again I forgot to pack Fuzzy. Sigh. And then Lisa called. It turned out that her parents weren't going to be able to come until it was already almost 8 PM at the earliest. Shocking. She needed a ride home since Silvia had her truck and wasn't picking up her phone. Lisa's phone no less LOL. I was ok giving her a ride, but for some reason she wanted to wait for a bit. She wanted to do some more work. It was like she wanted to prolong her own agony. I would get another phone call 20 minutes later. This time from Silvia. Apparently Lisa finally got through and who was there with Silvia? Courtney. Lisa asked Courtney for a ride and Courtney said NO she couldn't because she had another long drive to look forward to. Silvia didn't want to pack up the kids, not if I could pick up Lisa. And so yet again I come to the rescue. I gave Lisa a ride home, she got there by 7:30 PM and Johnnie had already gotten showered. See? Eezy peezy. Now we all to hear about how disappointed Lisa was with Courtney. Never a shortage of drama with Lisa and her orbit isn't there? I told Silvia I'd bring her DUnkin' donuts in the morning and that I looked forward to comning back tomorrow night for a steak barbecue. I went to my boring apartment and my boring life, at least compared to some. And I couldn't be any happier that that was the case.
