How are you going to pass the alone time this week? You typically have some sort of a project (or two) lined up...
Well, it's been five nights and the final one is on us. I'll pick her up at the airport tomorrow early evening.
What did I do?
- Dropped SW for her flight late morning Tuesday
- Worked Tue-Fri and had a boys' night out on Tuesday
- Went to dance class early evening Wed and then hit up niece for the Ramen dinner from our favorite local place, which she owed me
- Went to spin class with niece Thursday night our local place, then took her to dinner
- Had lunch with my son on Friday and gave him some fatherly advice that was overdue
- Friday after lunch did an in-person meeting at my actual office where we began a negotiation for a new startup gig I may take on; it's not really a startup at this point but they are scaling up and apparently need a more senior person with the proper resume
- Big party Friday night, started 4:30 p.m. and got home 2:30 a.m.
- Saturday morning 36-mile ride started 8:30 a.m.
- Saturday afternoon started the drywall work in our house to convert the present rounded bullnose-style corners to normal 90-degree squared corners on doorways, around windows, corners of rooms, etc.
- Saturday night made a big meal of spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, etc. and ate half
- Today got up early and met my daughter and attended as her guest at her favorite spin class (she lives about 45 miles away) and made it through, finishing 5th overall (of 25); it seems she wanted to show me off to her friends because they were all waiting after the class for the introductions
- Daughter took me to breakfast after the workout at a local favorite place of hers
- Jammed home and fixed the slow leak in the tire on my MBZ coupe; seems it took on a nail or screw so I remedied it, then washed the car
- Took the dog down to the park and threw the ball for her
- Cut and installed artificial turf in the main grass square of the back yard, so the dog will heretofore use that as the bathroom instead of killing the natural sod that I end up reinstalling once a year
- Tinkered with the new 4k UHD tv and home theater sound system, ate the last half of the spaghetti from last night, and am settled in for a movie with full 7.1 sound and nobody here to complain if it's too loud
I had excess energy this week and put it to good use.
