I Have Johnnie today

And so this morning I have to spend first thing at Lisa's to give her a ride to Cedars-Sinai for her every-6-months medical infusion. Something that will take all day to do. Which means I also have Johnnie for the good part of the day. A rarity to be sure. Usually Fridays are really light except that today I have to do that mandatory Performance Evaluation class for Managers. and then at 3 PM the Weekly Huddle meeting. Probably right around the time Lisa will call to get fetched from Cedars-Sinai. But that is for later. This morning of course Johnnie and I had to have the usual breakfast at McDonald's. And I augmented mine with corned beef and even more eggs too. Yumm! And then Johnnie brought this science toy with him that he wanted to play with. It's actually kid-friendly circuit board where you can add a fan, a power source (battery-powered), a switch, a light bulb, and a buzzer. Pretty excellent idea and a cool science toy if you ask me. Even Johnnie says that THIS IS ENGINEERING Dad. To my surprise, Johnnie finished the most difficult configuration in mere minutes. Which tells me he played with this before and that was just fine. I mean the toy IS pretty cool. Before you knew it, it was already time for lunch. I took Johnnie to Whole Foods because I was simply empty when it came to ideas for stuff to feed him. Besides I wanted to get a carnitas burrito. Instead, I ended up getting a Philly steak sandwich for %5. I mean SUCH a deal for a pretty big sandwich. I also bought sushi for Lisa for later. And some soup too. Actually I did want to take a nap after lunch myself and since it IS Friday, I put Peep and chirp in front of Johnnie to keep him busy for at least a half hour. Then and only then did I allow myself time to take a nap. I didn't fall asleep any longer than 10 minutes though. Still I was glad to have any minutes at all! And as soon as I got up I did some aerobic work, right while Johnnie was still watching. Right as I was getting ready to prep for my 3 PM meeting, I finally realized that Lisa had texted me at 2 PM letting me know she'd be out of her session by 3 PM. That would be in 20 minutes. And so I packed up Johnnie and we headed on over to Cedars-sinai. I flashbacked to May in 2018, more than 2 years ago when we picked Lisa up from Cedars-Sinai after the same procedure. We were having serious problems then and I don't have pleasant memories of that day. Today the time picking her up coincided with the 3 PM Friday Daily Huddle call. And I decided I'd do the call even while picking Lisa up. Shouldn't take all that long, it's Friday. Anyway we did pick up Lisa and she looked totally out of it. Funny thing was when she got in the car, I looked back and Johnnie was out of it too. As in he was asleep in the back seat. I posted a pic of mommy and son. By then as expected the Huddle call had finished and it was not only quick, it was uneventful. And so I dropped off Lisa, carried Johnnie upstairs. Lisa was really tired and wanted to go to sleep. I told her I'd be back for breakfast in the morning and off i went on home. I did almost 45 minutes of aerobics just to pile up some steps on my way to 11,100 tonight. Friday work day is over and although I did have stuff to do, I blew them off. I'll get to them on Monday. After all it's Father's Day weekend coming up right? I deserve some ME time. I picked up some KFC chicken and decided to do a reprise of last week's chicken rice hack. It was good then and it was even better tonight. Quick dinner works for me. And then jsut as woon as I got my 11,100 steps done, which was right around 7:30 PM, I retired to my couch and watched Netflix. More like binge-watched because I kept on watching until well past 1 AM. Actually it was almost 2 AM by the time I fell asleep. What was so interesting to watch? Season 2 of the Netflix original series the Order. It's about these college kids who belong to a secret society of black magic practitioners and OBTW some of them are werewolves  Of course there is romance involved. I don't know what caught me about Season 1 but i binge watched that as well months ago. Something about all that magic and being able to have more than normal power that attracts me I guess wink wink. Something I continue to work on huh? Anyway I was very much grateful to have a rare Friday with Johnnie and I get to spend more time with him tomorrow...
