A Pleasant Productive Monday

Ahh another Monday, another day of remote work and for me, a nice long hot shower to make up for the 3 I didn't take the last 3 days. I'm honestly ashamed that I  can't get myself to be consistent with that, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it either. And so the shower was already a nice start, as was some meditation I got to do on whatever emotionally I needed to pay attention to and release. The key was that I gave in to my lower Self, lower energies for about the past month and now I need to make sure I am focused enough so that doesn't happen again. Especially with the physical stuff. It seemed to have been my weak point all those years ago. Some 20 odd years later, the weakness has come up presumably so I can shore it up and affirm my commitment to connecting more with my Higher Self and higher energies. My face is actually starting to feel like it's coming all the way back and I even took a picture just so I can chronicle the improvement. Back in the day I focused on the physiological reasons, even if my own doctor couldn't pinpoint one for me. Now I'm sure this has come up because of something I need to release or at least something I need to accept. Yes sometimes I am stuck with my lower energies. Those are part of me too. I need to integrate it with my Higher Self and make sure it is NOT in control. I hear it and whatever I need to let go, I will let go. In the meantime, as far as the work stuff goes, I had that Business Continuity Meeting at 10:30 AM which lasted until almost 11:30 and we went around the horn like we used to do at the Communications Meeting back in the day. Less and less new stuff going on it seems. And it seems like I'm not the only one dealing with some physical issue. Anyway it's still just work and today the focus for me was to get started on my pre-Tech Council Meeting activities. First is the Meeting minutes, which I got done in an hour. Really just a matter of sitting down and deciding to do it LOL.  I will do my presentation tomorrow. And the good thing about this morning's meeting was that it brought to my attention a couple of things needing to be discussed at the TCM. It's kind of like the Universe handed me a meeting agenda so I didn't need to pull one out of my ass LOL.

Did I mention how much I love walking around my neighborhood on a nice, sunny, pleasant day like today? I love hearing the sound of the wind breezing through the trees and branches. This was during the afternoon around 2:30PM there weren't that many people out as I walked about. At least not as much as before. That was nice too. I kept of this walk as part of my sanity routine and I was happy to get to 4000 steps by the time I got back to the apartment. I actually had an unusually productive day today and not just doing the Tech council Meeting stuff. I actually got to my contracts that are up for review and even got totally caught up on this journal. In other words, I actually am returning to my normal self and by 5 PM I started to think about picking up Johnnie. Unfortunately T-Mobile our work cell carrier had a nationwide outage which affected not just us but a whole lot of people. Lisa would tell me later she couldn't make a phone call which is why she didn't call me about Johnnie. It did cross my mind around 5:30 why she hadn't called yet. i just decided to go on over there and pick him up. Heck it was almost 5;45 already anyway. When I got there mom and son weren't home... but I kept myself from getting irritated. Instead of thinking "this is just Lisa being Lisa and not being aware of my feelings", I thought of the time she lost her keys this last couple of weekends ago while hiking in Pasadena. I wasn't even there so there was no way I could have gotten irritated. Even Johnnie told me all about it. Lisa must have been embarassed. Thinking about that made it ok that sometimes she simply can't help losing track of stuff. That is simply how her brain works. And that's ok. And so with that thought I just hung out the back yard and waited for them. And they came within 5 minutes. How about that! I even helped Johnnie put away his toys so Lisa could have relatively peace for the rest of the evening. And then off we went for the week. Johnnie requested Mcdonald's chicken nuggets for dinner. Kind of a normal Monday right? And we chilled and I just let him watch videos until it was time to go to bed. Back to his happy self he was. And that makes me happy too.
