Not Feeling It Today

I put my feelings today right in the title of this post. I woke up still sort of emotionally hung over from the Lakers championship win last night. I know this because I'm still watching the sports talk shows savoring the victory and listening to the pundits bowing down to Laker glory. Hey I can savor. It's been 10 very long years. The last time they won a championship, Lisa and I were just married for a year. Sounds that long ago. I took a retro trip through my journal and saw that I had just introduced Lisa to my family for the first time during that month. We played Woodley Lakes a lot. Dinners with Roe. Yadira and Dexter too. It seems SOOO long ago. And so I brought myself to the present, got my shower and shave in, and prepared myself for the work week. I made myself a nice spinach, onion and cheese omelette for breakfast, made my Earl Grey and actually found time to center. I did the same affirmations for providing massive value. Actually cycled through my manifestation images of 2020. And wouldn't you know I actually did get myself in a nice space, and a pretty high vibration. I thought I had the Tech Council this week, which was why I had some anxiety. Turned out to be next week. I still had a lot to do mind you. But somehow, the centering exercises made me feel like I was going to be ok no matter what. And that there is no need for the anxiety of not being enough or not doing enough. That's really it right there isn't it? Which is why I could fast forward to this afternoon and the picture I posted. It was like I was flying down a runway taking off. Kind of a personal metaphor right there. By then I had done a fairly uneventful Business Continuity meeting this morning. It's funny how we catch up with each other and we're all trying to feel good that it's business as usual and we're doing well. While we also talk about losing people and folks that still can't come to work because of childcare issues. Oh yeah I get my fair share of that, especially when Johnnie comes back into the fold under my watch tomorrow. I kept that in the back of my mind too as I tried to accomplish what I could. By the time I took the picture I was already at 7500 steps, and I had gone to the store for ingredients to make my unstuffed cabbage dish. Talk about something I hadn't done. I don't think I had made that dish since we were still living at the Lindbrook apartment. And as of August we had been out of there 4 years already. I let it simmer just so and let it stand and picked up Johnnie while I did that. It's going to be nice when I eat it later for dinner...

So I drove to Lisa's at 5:30 and got there to find her in a pow-wow with Eusebio. Must mean another landscaping or gardening project in the works. None of my business now obviously, I was just there to get  Johnnie. They did their goodbye thing "Don't have too much fun", after which Johnnie will always say to me "Let's not listen to her about that one". LOL LOL. I hope I never have to tell Lisa in the future about that. It would hurt her feelings. As it was she did send me packing with a whole container of noodles which she made but apparently did not get to eat. Or should I say Johnnie never got to eat it. But he sure was hungry. He not only ate most of the pasta, but also 6 pieces of McDonald's chicken McNuggets. That's how i know he probably missed lunch. That's ok. He's on my watch now. And if there is one thing we do, is that we eat. I checked to make sure johnnie finished his homework for the day. And then it was on to watching stuff for he and I. For him it was back to Isla Nublar and Jurassic World. For me, it was the start of the NLCS and hopefully rooting for another LA team, this time the Dodgers. The Dodgers are favored to win it all too. Would it be a hoot or what if they won it a couple of weeks after the Lakers. But tonight, they did not look like a championship team. They lost to the Braves. And actually I did not care nearly as much. Hey the Lakers already won. If the Dodgers win that would only be icing on the cake. And actually if I could trade a Dodgers championship to a Joe Biden win in November to finally vote out Trump, I would take it in a hearbeat. I am so sick of hearing the antics of this degenerate moron. And it does get an emotional rise out of me looking at Facebook posts of those that support him. They're blind too even if I care about some of them. Some talk about a silent majority that exists who will vote him in. The thought of him winning again is frankly as downright horrifying as it gets. I think it's the other way around. I think there is going to be one MASSIVE blue wave. We'll have to see. And so Monday came and went pretty quietly, which is a good thing. Because I wasn't feeling it today. Yet, because of the internal work I did this morning I still had a pretty good day didn't I?
