Today I

  • Ended up with a solo training session my first day back with JJ.  Seems the rest of the team hadn't gotten the memo.  I felt a little awkward, because I wasn't prepared to pay for a solo session, and had figured things were already settled.  But I went with it, and it was hard, but good.  If anything, it let JJ calibrate the set for next week.  I felt bad that I didn't have cash to pay him, and went to the ATM, thinking I'd pay later, but then decided that he deserved his full fee, and went back and gave it to him.  It'll probably mean a lot more to him than it did to me, so it was the right thing.
  • Had some confusion with cars and timings this morning. The leaf wasn't charged enough. I tookJohann to daycare, and he got fussy when I went to leave.  In hindsight, Sirlei texted me a picture soon after of him being happy in his chair for breakfast. I didn't get it until tonight.  It's hard for me to leave him in the morning.  I know he wants to be with me.
  • Work was work.  I love my team.  The senior management is full of assholes. I'm pretty done with tolerating the second class citizen shit. 
  • Johann seems to remember what turkeys say, and is increasingly responsive to questions about the locations of flowers and cats.  He's also getting better with his signs.  He remains curious about the cat door outside.  He loves to smell the roses.  Makes me think of Grandpa Herber. He's always been fond of plants.  Not sure if that's because he's around them, but I hope it sticks with him.  Maybe he's a future botanist. Or ecologist.
  • I trimmed the daylights out of the tree that overgrows by my hops, and also trimmed back the smaller hop vine shoots from the early ones.  They're growing fast.
