A SHort Week This Is

As Monday brings on another new week, my awareness is on the fact that June is fast coming to an end tomorrow, that this is a short week, and that the 4th of July weekend is upon us in a few days - hence the short week. Unfortunately, due to a surge in coronavirus cases, LA County has closed all beaches and banned all fireworks displays. So much for going over to Balwan and Sharon and watching fireworks on top of their apartment. Although there has been some underlying negativity about that I need to purge if I haven't already. Two years ago, Lisa called from Hawaii while I was with Balwan and Sharon watching. 2 weeks later I moved out. Last year would be the last time I can remember really having it out with Lisa and that was because of some stuff going on with her family yet again. So much so, I bugged out of going with them to see Sharon and Balwan and basically just stayed home and watched a movie. Boy when will I ever get to do THAT again huh? <watch a movie I mean> though really I haven't missed anything. Anyway, this being a Monday and all and a morning without Johnnie, I focused on setting my intentions for the day and for the week and I took a nice shower <which I hadn't taken one all weekend>. Made myself some corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. And just let myself be.  The morning meditation was all about keeping my vibration high and watching my own thoughts. And reminding myself that I am still on procrastinate mode and I need to really focus on the outcomes I needed to accomplish within the context of keeping my vibration high. It's funny that things came up that were to-do's that I have basically not gotten to. Getting my taxes done, car registration, driver's license renewal. Oh that. I actually had an appointment at the DMV today. But I cancelled it. I'm not going to a COVID hotspot @ the DMV near USC. Why risk it? Hopefully I won't regret cancelling it. Anyway the only thing on my schedule today was the Monday Business Continuity Meeting and when that was done by 11:30, all I had to do was do some minimal work for the rest of the day.
The other big thing on the docket today was of course Johnnie pick-up. I spent some time trying to line up things for him to do for tomorrow. And as I was going through some reading and language assessments for kids his age, I saw that one of the things kindergarteners were supposed to learn was how to write their address. OK then. Something new for Johnnie to master. Isn't that true for me too. Isn't it time to master the health and energy healing thing and the financial independence thing? Maybe it's the fact that this year is almost half over that some urgency has come over me. Anyway I posted a pic of me doing aerobics in the afternoon. It's so much faster racking up the steps doing that than just walking around the neighborhood. Always brings back memories of those aerobics classes in the 80s. With Sonia Parra at the old Bally's. Today I had no sooner gotten done when I got  a call from Lisa. They were out and about and I would learn later had hung out at the La Brea Tar Pits all afternoon. Anyway Lisa wanted to drop off Johnnie right from where they were which was perfectly fine. And so by 5 PM, I had Little Bug back with me again. And no sooner had he entered my apartment that he asked for dinner and wanted to watch a video. He specifically wanted chicken noodle soup though so we detoured to Whole Foods and then I made him penne pasta and put it in the chicken broth... like always. And he ate an entire 2 bowls full too. No comment here about possibly not having had lunch. He's with me now. And on to Octonauts, his new favorite series for the rest of the evening.  Look at the pic of him I posted just being his usual happy energetic self. He told me all about his afternoon at La Brea tar Pits with mom and Courtney. Apparently he had taken his scooter too and rode around the outside area for a bit. He told me he fell a few times and got a boo-boo in the process. But he brandished it like a medal for bravery or something.  I was glad he had fun and got outside. It IS summer after all. Especially after all the learning stuff I throw at him and plan to continue to throw at him. Last day of June coming up.
