Getting Hot Again

So it's heating up again, as if summer wanted us all to remember it, even if it has technically come and gone. But at least it didn't start off hot this morning. In fact, it looked overcast which does remind you that we're in the autumn season already. And as the morning zipped by, it turned out to be a pretty redundant kind of Tuesday, the routine kind that I prefer so much. Johnnie's Social Studies class, my IS Team Meeting, Johnnie's homework. I reminded myself when I got up this morning that I needed to find a way to clear my mind and stick to the outcomes that I want to manifest. I reminded myself that if I am feeling some unpleasantness, either physically or mentally, that I need to be still and listen and to allow myself to connect with a higher vibration. <That as I sensed some anxiety that bubbles up to the surface on my end, with no specific reason that is apparent> To that end, I managed to get back to "playing" the manifestation powerpoint I made many months ago. This was early in the year. Here we are September is nearly over, October is in a couple of days already. I have to remind myself that I have the power and ability to get stuff done in a very short period of time and that I should not bind myself to limiting timelines. And yet... at the end of the day it's about enjoying the moment. Just look at Johnnie's face in the picture that I posted of him in the pool this afternoon :) He had a swimming lesson with Stacy of course and yesterday I already felt he was growing more and more confident... which is the actual goal really. When he feels confident just as he did with biking, just as he did with riding a scooter, he will be just fine. Today Stacy just gave him more drills but actually he and I will simply be spending more and more time in the pool to get him more and more confident. Already a huge win to get him where he is today I think.

In the meantime, you can't really beat working poolside if you have to work at all can you?! The view is certainly much better than staring outside my FRB office window, or at the cubicles outside. Even though it was really hot outside, and we had to scramble to get Johnnie dried up and rushed back into the house for his 3 PM computer programming class.  This time we got logged on just fine and Johnnie actually did pretty well working on his project in the hour-long class. Again it's all about making sure he builds confidence in whatever he is doing. He was so proud that he was able to program a race with characters he chose himself. I mean to already have that ability at 5 years old... I am not even sure what the heck I was doing at that age myself. I simply have no memories. As for Johnnie, this week we did a return to Jurassic World. Since Lisa already knew about and in fact, watched Camp Cretaceous with him, I figured I'd let Johnnie watch the real thing, which was the real Jurassic World movie with Chris Pratt (Owen) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Clare) since he already was well acquainted with the characters in the funny Lego version. So that was movie night tonight, and after the usual Panda Express dinner for him. I figured I'd give him a reward since his afternoon was pretty full with lessons. As for me, I had PLENTY of leftover food in the fridge. And so Tuesday night has actually evolved from Italian sausage and pasta and chocolate chip cookies night to simply movie night, if just for tonight. In the meantime, i did manage to get all the way to 13,000 steps tonight and though I got started late because of all of Johnnie's lessons, I still breezed to 11,100 even before 8 PM. In the meantime, I also realize that September 2020 is winding down. And how did it wind down tonight? By the first Trump-Biden debate which from all accounts I am so glad not to have watched. Apparently Trump was his angry grandpa best and of course Biden had to snipe back. You can't stay clean if you're fighting a pig and you're in the mud. Gotta give as much as you get. The loser tonight? America. The world must be watching in horror as the leader and potential leader of the supposed greatest nation on the planet devolved to the shitshow that I am glad I'm only reading about. smh smh. There is hope though. I look at Johnnie sleeping soundly, I think about all the things he will have the capability to accomplish. I say never mind the old folks. There is hope.
