I woke before 5:30am, and after tending to my teeth and tummy I was downstairs working out in no time flat. The day’s weather promised to be considerably warmer than the last few and the early temperature was already near the freezing mark making my walk with Ykraps largely unmemorable.
I was back at the house drinking coffee in front of the PC before 6am. I took Mindy her coffee around 6:10am and made sure she was awake. She was heading back to work after missing two days dealing with a sick child. Before my run I meditated for almost fifteen minutes.
The run went well. The elements weren’t a factor in the least. I was back home by 7:10am and helped Mindy finish preparing our breakfast and then made both of us tuna fish salad. I added mayo for Mindy. I actually prefer it without these days – just a phase.
Mindy left with Bella around 7:25am, which was considerably later than she would’ve preferred. Jacob was already up and asked for a Toaster Strudel. I accommodated his request. Soon, after eating, I was in the shower readying for work.
We left the house with plenty of time to spare. We drove to the bus stop. Jacob was his usual energetic self, once again stepping into the space of others with reckless abandon. I reminded him of the no touch rule. Thankfully, the bus showed up seconds later to whisk him away to school. I, in turn, headed off to work.
I arrived well before 8:30am. It was like a usual Thursday. We were busy. I didn’t leave for a lunch break until 1:15pm. I drove once again to World Market so I could measure the depth of the cabinet in the black buffet that I saw there yesterday. Holy smoke, it had already been moved elsewhere. I found it with the help of an employee. I measured the depth – only 15” inside, not deep enough to hold stereo equipment. I was there just a short time before heading back to the office. In total, I was gone only 25 minutes.
The afternoon was a blur. I left for home around 5:20pm. Mindy emailed/called asked that I stop at CVS to pick-up a prescription of antibiotics for Bella. Doing so meant that I’d have to alter my drive home. Instead of I-270 or the back way (Old Dublin Rd), I took Leap Rd from Davidson to Walcutt Rd. and eventually Roberts Rd., where the pharmacy sets.
The process was troubling. I had to call Mindy to get her member ID. Seems they didn’t have Bella in the system – another indicator of her healthy DNA. After a few minutes of back and forth they got her added and prepped the Amoxicillin script. I found a knee brace for Mindy, too. She wants one to take along on our ski trip.
On the drive home I was tuned to NPR. They were interviewing various presidential candidates – both democratic and republican. McCain was especially transparent as he played up his ties to South Carolina. It was ridiculous. Obama wasn’t much better. I just can’t see him in the White House. From my perspective, his strength is in his speech writing and orating, and that’s about it. Finally home I scurried to get the trash to the curb with all my gear in hand. It was raining moderately too. Inside, as I unloaded my gear, I realized that I didn’t have my cell phone. %^&*! I let out a very unpleasant expletive. I grabbed the flashlight and went back out to retrace my path from the Trooper to the trash can and then the curb. I found my phone about half way between the house and curb laying in the wet grass. My phone is most often in the vibrate mode making it impossible to track via a ring – something I might want to rethink.
Meanwhile, back inside, Mindy was serving up tacos. We haven’t had them in a really long time. I was craving them. As usual, the phone thing put in a bad place and I had a hard time recovering. Eventually I did, however. The rest of the evening was low key. I played some football & golf with Jacob on the PS2. We played up until time for bed. It was fun. It marked the first time that we played Tiger Woods golf.
Mindy & I sat on the sofa and chatted for a while before heading for an early bedtime. Must’ve been 9:30pm. We were both tired, and I had potentially tough weekend ahead.
