Back to work too soon



Waking Monday morning was surprisingly easy. I was up and engaged in my morning routine by 5:25am. And while it was still very dark as Ykraps and I began our walk, I could detect dawn in the eastern sky – a sure sign that summer’s coming.

Back at home I got some coffee and sat at my PC catching up on the headlines and reading the Daily OM. I didn’t immediately take Mindy her coffee because it was only 5:50am. I saw no reason to wake her any earlier than the usual 6:05am. Eventually I took Mindy her coffee. Both kids were up & milling about ridiculously early. Mindy sent them both back to bed. I did a morning meditation before beginning food prep.

Food prep went relatively fast. I made tuna fish. Mindy and the kids departed after breakfast and I dashed off to the shower & then ultimately to work

Work went well. But like most Monday’s, I spent a lot of time playing catch-up from the weekend. I left for my run at 12:45pm – right on queue. It was another fabulous day with temps in the 70’s and loads of sunshine. We’ve been blessed with a great streak of weather.

The afternoon went quickly. Before I knew it was time to go home. As luck would have it, I worked fairly late playing catch-up. I didn’t get out of the office until 5:30pm. It was a Mindy Monday and she was waiting patiently at home. My Amazon order arrived today. I just placed that order Thursday afternoon. I ordered an audio CD, a book on CD (my first), and two hard cover books. We walked Ykraps together then enjoyed dinner of leftovers from the Sunday party/barbeque. The kids surprised us and returned between 6:15 and 6:30pm. We were in the middle of dinner when they returned.

We spent some time playing wiffle ball out back before bath, jammie, and bed time. Mindy had the children in bed before 7:45pm. The two of us went to bed at 8:30pm.
