Tuesday = Monday

It is Tuesday and it is back to Tuesday weekday routine, which actually felt more like a Monday because of the 3-day weekend. Back to waking Johnnie up with Dinosaur videos and back to breakfast for us at McDonald's [it simply is much faster and takes far less energy to do it that way than make him breakfast at home]. And it's also back to taking Johnnie to school. Look at him waiting for his classroom to open this morning. Pretty uneventful. And then it was off to work for me. 30 minutes to the office. Gone are those traffic-free days from the holidays. Had to listen to sports talk radio about the football results of this weekend. and Cynthia Borders at work crowing about the 49ers. God I hope they lose! Had to listen to how the Lakers were massacred yesterday. Doesn't anyone remember the Memorial Day Massacre in Boston in 1985? It was back to breakfast at the FRB Café though this time it felt totally different because the cafeteria seemed to have undergone a make-over over the weekend. I didn't know where anything was?! I did appreciate that everything seemed more visually appealing and that there seemed to be more in terms of choice. Anyway my schedule seemed to be pretty open all day today which allowed me not to be stressed in terms of going back to work. In fact, I actually got to spend time re-setting and figuring out the priorities for the week. There were still stuff going on in my IT world. Network down here (Bresee) but one of my guys is already deployed there. Security cert expired there (again, one of my guys is already on it). The key is to make sure we're covered. Blips happen. Getting these things fixed... that's the job. And so went the hamster wheel today. I did manage to also knock out a couple of tasks all the way from the holiday break that were sitting there, most notably Kennedy's 120-day review. All that to say it was a quietly efficient day for me. And I STILL managed to get in an hour learning session with David Snyder and some NLP Law of Attraction stuff. It is amazing that all the NLP stuff was stuff I had already been exposed to. But if you do not make a consistent practice out of it, you tend to forget it. I'm thinking I have lots of such knowledge that I've dabbled at but haven't really made a deep dive into. Trading is one of those things. Stuff to work on. Before I knew it it was already time to go home. Time to go pick up Johnnie. 

So I played up Tuesday night for Johnnie today. It's daddy-barbecues-sausage day. And of course it's chocolate chip cookie night. And already Johnnie is lining up whatever he can do in the house WHILE I'm barbecuing sausage. The kid's way too smart. Which was exactly how it played out tonight. We went home and immediately he asked for chicken noodle soup, which was really simply penne pasta in chicken broth. I got started on that right away and got him to start eating. In the meantime, I went to the barbecue and got started with the Italian sausage. When I got back he was already drawing his dinosaurs. Cool! He was occupado! Which gave me the opportunity to just stay at the barbecue and finish cooking. It was also pleasantly strange for me to realize that by the time I got done cooking (5:45), I had already logged in 9000 steps! How did that happen? Let's see, I did walk to the bank this afternoon and got me a snack. I did do my Nitric Oxide exercises for once, which I hadn't done in a week. Still I wasn't going to think about it. Just a checkmark is all. And then Johnnie ate one of my sausages. He was fed very well tonight. And we actually even did read a book: I don't Want to Be a Frog. He could read that book himself by now. And then he asked to watch the Dinosaur Train! We hadn't watched that thing in months! I wonder why he asked for it now? Do I really care? Anyway we both discovered we hadn't watched a whole bunch of episodes from Season 3 that I had purchased a long time ago. COOL! Even more dinosaurs he can get immersed in. We had an eezy-peezy night tonight. But then again that's more the norm with he and I. And both dad and son were in bed before 10 PM. Even better for me! I can finally get more than 6 hours of sleep!
