More than likely, in fact all but certainly the contract will land next month. Makes me smile and joyful for many reasons mostly knowing my monthly will be killed with one arrowhead. Driving back all I could think about was running so I mustn’t have been home for even ten minutes and was on pavement. 3..30 ran, 0.76 walked. Too hot. Again a reminder to run in morning. Couldn’t have this morning even if I wanted to with Henry waking this morning just before 4 and falling asleep on the couch with his daddy. New tradition, nearly predictable, something to which you could set your watch or phone alarm. Hear him moaning and crying lightly so I brought him downstairs, turned on CNN… he played a bit then fell asleep against my arm. Me exhausted, set up my little spot on couch and fell to dreams. Woke to light and Melissa coming down to check on us both. I was tired, so even if I wanted to run I couldn’t. Then of course there’s the time thing…
Walking around the I-House with my Engineer and the wifi solutions and infrastructure experts, I could’t stop listening… not that I want to be an Engineer now all of a sudden or be more involved with install or IW (Internal Wiring), but I want to speak the language better. Wont lie, the thought did pass through my thinking, “Maybe I should shift to Engineering… be a Sales Engineer for Sonic, or independently…” NO, I said to myself. You’re a fucking blogger, writer.. Engineer from that. So that’s what I’m doing now having finished a sparkling water and now sipping from one of the remaining cold nitrous-infused cold brews, vanilla latte. Caught up on a couple things, so I reward self with writing break. Not that hungry, and if I feel anything I’ll just have something here. More money to set aside for new car, business project, then something else…
2:05, still in running clothes. Had the bug again walking around he International House and driving so close to UC Berk, seeing students walking around, running on the streets… imagining me in that Int’l House, a visiting professor, writer, blogger, speaker, idea engineer. Huh…. Maybe I shouldn’t cancel class tonight. No, I need to. Catch up on Sonic notes and items and write more. Look through old photos like I wanted to. Planning on being in house all day tomorrow, or part here then the other in Sonic office. Run first, after taking kids to school…. Then work.
Thinking of having another coffee…two more in fridge. Sneezing, allergen expose from run.
Sent another email… moving quick. The caffeine is working, so lovely and lovingly. Another…. May need to wait. That shit is strong. Went outside to toss two plastic sparkling water bottles, then the cold brew can, saw one of the crew members, I asked him in Spanish if all is well and he affirmed. Gorgeous outside, I thought. Would love a drive, but need to be at the desk. Staying here, Engineering….
