Quietly Routine

I didn't fully catch up yesterday. But I knew what I had to do in order to do that. It's a tad harder when I have Johnnie in the house but I wouldn't have it any other way. For my inner work, I needed to be consistently following my daily routine, which includes meditation, which includes affirmation, which includes cleaning and clearing. And I have not done that the past few days. In fact, I have not addressed any of the physical stuff that have come up until yesterday. And now I realize I have to be a good patient, get my internal treatment and let myself heal. That I wanted to do today. And then of course at work it was real simple. Just get my presentation for the Communications Meeting tomorrow done. There's lots of other stuff of course but that one is the must-do for today. I started my day with THE must-do routine however which was to get Johnnie breakfast and get him ready for school... and then walking him to school. For the first time in a while he got to wear shorts today, which meant that it was going to be a warm day out. I LOVE that. Spring is a mere few weeks away near the middle of March and this week February is already ending. And so I dropped Johnnie off at his classroom, gave him a high five and off I went to work. I managed to do some affirmations, which really was my own video with theta waves in the background. It actually got me to focus as well and I managed to finish my Communications presentation in the morning! What to do the rest of the day! LOL. Actually that last comment was rhetorical. I was actually able to organize myself this morning [which really I should have done yesterday] and got myself updated on the things I needed to do, work-related that is. There is still the smattering of LOA and Manifestation and Inner Work stuff that comes across my attention whenever I open YouTube and I accept that as merely the Universe ensuring that certain things are in my awareness still. And then there is the whole "tired" thing. I felt so tired this afternoon that I wanted to take a nap. If I closed my eyes I would have easily done it in fact. Not an old-man nap mind you [or maybe it is, who knows..], but I am still feeling tired from something. But of course I did NOT take a nap this afternoon hoping to get done and get to leave early to pick up my Little Bug at school. It is Tuesday night after all. We definitely have a routine for a Tuesday. As it were, I did leave work earlier than usual, got home and put some penne pasta on the stove. That's because it's pseudo-chicken-noodle-soup-night for Johnnie. I picked him up around 5:15. They were all outside today since it was a nice, warm day. And he was busy doodling something for me as usual. But he looked up just as soon as he heard the gate and got him when he saw me. I must have been 75 yards away still, but he perked up and started to run towards me. That never gets old. It will never get old. We went home, I gave him almost TWO bows of penne pasta in chicken broth. And he ate all that up while I was outside barbecuing Italian sausage. And then when I got done with that, he ate one entire sausage all by himself. And that's after I noticed he had eaten most of the stuff I made him for lunch! That's good right? And of course, this being a Tuesday and all, I made chocolate chip cookies. And he wolfed down 2 of them the minute they cooled off. All that and it was only 7 PM! Tonight Johnnie decided it would be retro night and he wanted to watch Tumble Leaf. Sometimes he gets into these retro modes where he remembers fondly watching stuff. Last night it was Daniel Tiger. Tonight it's Tumble Leaf. I just indulged him since he had done so well. And really all we wanted to do was hang out together anyway. Look at the pic of he and I. That smile is worth everything in the world. Tonight might have ended up being a quiet routine night to cap a quiet routine day. But since it was a nice day considering, I grateful offered up my thanks to the Universe that it was. "I love you Universe" Johnnie said softly as he was about to fall asleep. "I love you too :)"
