Morning With Johnnie, Evening with Me

So since it was a non-working Saturday for Lisa I figured we'd be back to coronavirus Saturday routine, which means having breakfast with Lisa and Johnnie and then me watching him for the next few hours through lunch. That would give Lisa some ME time particularly today since she has piano lessons at 10:45. I keep telling her to be aware of her own patterns. Piano lessons at that time would certainly mean she would need to take a nap soon after. I didn't care, i got to spend time with Johnnie. And then they're supposed to drive up to Santa Clarita to spend the night at Lisa Pereira's house.  And so it was that I posted a picture of breakfast... Brioche French toast, and then Lisa also made an omelette too. Pretty good one if I do say so myself. I got there really hungry and Lisa was still in the shower. Without Johnnie who smelled like he hadn't taken a shower las tnight either. That's ok, he will when we get to my apartment.  And so it was that we had a nice breakfast (see picture) and then I had Johnnie pick out his clothes and off we went for Johnnie-daddy-time. True enough the first thing we did was to get him showered off and brush his teeth. And I let him play in there for a while too. And then of course since it WAS the weekend I told him it was ok to watch videos without doing anything, lessons in particular. And he also started playing with his dinosaurs. I think he knew he was going to be with me for a little while. The last time we did this was 4th of July when Lisa had the exact same schedule except that I went with them to Newport Beach. We didn't leave until 3:30 then. Today I made a pit stop at Ralphs to get some groceries for Lisa. I'm not having to do full on grocery shopping for her like i did early on during the lockdown, just one-offs really and I was happy to do it. And then before we knew it, it was lunchtime already and Johnnie was all too happy to have his favorite Panda Express for lunch. Again a throwback to Saturdays when Lisa would work and I would have Johnnie, except that we ate in. Who knows when we'd be able to do THAT again. It doesn't matter to me actually, in fact today it's even better than he gets to eat at the apartment and watches his Octonauts at the same time. This ensures me he will have a decent meal today no matter what happens tonight. And then we spent the rest of the afternoon goofing around really (see pic). As it turned out Lisa texted around 2 PM that she had just woken up and that she was going to pick up Johnnie. She didn't come until well past 3:30 LOL. Not a surprise and I was just a tad annoyed only because I wanted to take an afternoon nap myself. So with the Johnnie pick up all done, that would be THAT for the weekend in terms of seeing Johnnie. I spent the afternoon catching up on my late day aerobics. After all, I was barely at 2600 steps when Lisa came by. Kind of an ongoing pattern now it seems like... that I find about 45 minutes of time and then get all my steps in then. Today it felt very much like a workout. So much so I had to stop and get water. Felt like I was at the gym. And then I started binge watching the Magicians Season 2 and Season 3. And made myself the rest of the turkey leftovers and stuffing for dinner. Added the Trader Joe's chicken marsala to boot.  I reflected on the day and thought about how it was a nonchalantly nice day with Johnnie. Even the time with Lisa was relatively drama-free. She did have some drama apparently when Courtney showed up out of nowhere apparently having some issues with her dad who was allegedly not being nice to her. THAT was actually the reason why Lisa had to wait until 3:30 PM to pick up Johnnie. Whatever drama Lisa was attracting, I managed to steer clear of. That was just me also being impatient. And so besides the Magicians on Netflix I immersed myself with videos on spiritual awakening stuff. Esoteric stuff too. Ran into an Aaron Abke video with a Course in Miracles study group in the Philippines of all things. Ran into material about the Book of Thoth. And the Book of Enoch and the Gospel of Thomas. I wondered to myself why I'm attracting so much esoteric stuff? Could it be because I AM watching the Magicians which was a series about a school teaching esoteric knowledge? What is sure is that there is more to the physical. And there is much to learn about ourselves as more than just physical beings with physical bodies. I am also thinking that what they call "Magic" in the series I'm watching isn't something that only a select few have. I think we all have it with different levels of potency. And it does require development and practice. No different than any athletic skill that requires mastery. Practice and repetition. Practice and repetition. And that is what I did with my ME time tonight. No more stuff to pressure myself about in terms of TO-DOs. Not today anyway. But there is much to learn. MUCH MUCH to learn...
