Monday On A Busy Busy Week

So this shapes to be a really busy week and i already got a pretty good start last night when I finished my tax returns. And let's not forget I also got all my Policies and Procedures due for review finished this weekend too. But first things first was a nice shower considering I hadn't taken one all weekend. And a shave too. And then I dove right in to work. Today my goal was to finish Meeting Minutes for the Tech Council and then work on my presentation for Wednesdays meeting. In the meantime, I kept getting email after email of invoices that were due for me to sign. And then of course there were those blasted applications from CTF that reaches Barbara and therefore bugs her and she is bugging me. <I'm not going to mention at this point that she is bugging over nothing and I wish she would just leave this alone and let those of us that deal with deal with it> And then there's Lisa calling me around lunchtime that she is trying to retire herself from my Google Fi account and get a new Android. The instructions say that she could do it herself simply by logging in.  Which is what I passed on to her. At the time she called, they were apparently at the Third Street Promenade (she and Johnnie) having lunch. Argghhh... And so the challenge today seems to be to keep myself in a high vibration state as much as I can. Anyway I had the 10:30 Business Continuity Meeting that lasted until almost noon and then because of Lisa's phone call, I ended up having a late lunch... turkey wraps for me today around 1 PM. And then I took a really quick powernap. I had no more meetings the rest of the afternoon and I needed every free minute to get my TC June Meeting Minutes done once and for all. And then late in the afternoon, I went and did aerobics since I didn't do anything physical all day. So much so I was barely at 2200 steps and it was nearly 4:30 already.  Good thing was that it is much faster to rack up steps doing aerobics than it is to walk around the neighborhood and I got through the equivalent of 2 1/2 miles in less than 45 minutes. And so by the time it was time to go pick up Johnnie, I was already at 7500 steps. And it felt like I had gone for a run for at least a couple of miles. When I go to Lisa's house there was no Johnnie sounds. It would seem he was fast asleep.

Lisa confessed that they had had a very late night last night. As in they didn't get to sleep until almost midnight and in a fit of overwhelm and tiredness, she had reacted to a Johnnie physical action by hitting him in the chest so hard that it knocked the wind from him. Apparently it had scared her enough that she thought of calling 911. Now THAT is scary. What on earth would have caused her to strike like that?! I'm not going to mention at this point that I'm not surprised given her predilection to physical violence... something she learned from her dad.  She apparently felt so horrified at her own actions that she went outside crying and when Johnnie revived within a few minutes, he started crying too. That must have been some scene. I'm glad I wasn't around to witness it. I might have lost it towards Lisa myself. All this time and she still can't control her temper, especially during those times that push her to overwhelm although she herself should know when those times are. One is every single goddamn Saturday night after she finishes working. She needs to do piano or do something to clear her head. When she doesn't do that she is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Sad that she blasted Johnnie. He will only learn that doing that is ok. But not if I can help it. Today he woke up as I was picking him up out of bed and he hugged me tightly. Awww, He was sure ready to go with me. We went to get his dinner at McDonald's (chicken McNuggets at his request) and then I made him some pasta in chicken broth. I couldn't help but feel that he's safe now. But really I'm not going to go holier than thou either as I myself have made him cry a couple of times in the last few weeks. And so I can't judge Lisa either. Not without judging myself. And so I take her story as a reminder to myself to keep myself in high vibration and not to lose it either. Tonight he watched his Octonauts, but he seemed tired. I got him into bedtime routine by 9 PM and then he wore his brand new pajamas that we just bought this past weekend. And he fell right back to sleep in no time. I took his cue myself. I had less than 4 1/2 hours of sleep the last couple of nights. I made up for that tonight. i got 8+ hours in. Didn't need binaural beats or anything. Johnnie and i were both tired...
