Morning:
Got up, got dressed, put clothes to dry and headed out to work. I got here around 7:23 AM and waited for 7:30 before going in.

Light day

Morning:
Got up, made Gabriel a bottle and Javi went to the kitchen. I gave him some meds as his nose was running. I went to get ready for work and he stayed watching Tom and Jerry. Drove to work, there was a bit of traffic and I got here around 7:45. I came up and checked in and reviewed some emails. Around 9:15 I went over to the post office to get a money order to send to Javi's school for the after school program.
I got back in and I have been just taking it easy. I am about to go have lunch and watch some Netflix until my unit meeting starts.

Afternoon:
Had lunch, watching some Netflix. I was looking for the ratings from last night's NxT and AEW shows but they haven't been reported on. I may be wrong but I think the delay has to due with NxT possibly winning the night. I only say that because the last 3 weeks they made it a big story that AEW won and now they may try to not report on it as much as the darlings may have lost the night.
The ratings are in, looks like AEW won again, however it seems the delay was trying to figure a way to explain how the ratings declined for AEW. Anyway, going to leave here pretty soon and go to 1440 for my unit meeting. 
After the meeting I went to get the kids and headed home. When I got there I put clothes to wash and we went to get food.

Nighttime:
Ate dinner, changed the boys. Put Gabriel to bed and now watching TV before I go to bed

Lde Gabriel a bottle,  put clothes to dry, got dressed and headed out. Leaving early to get parking near my old spot since I will be working from 1440 today. Almost all the parking places I use were taken. But I found a spot. Now waiting to walk over.

A new streak

Morning:
Got up, got dressed. Made some coffee and headed out to work. The drive was good, not too much of a delay. I completely missed my blog entry for yesterday,  so a new streak starts today.
Later I have to shadow one more EW and I think our unit meeting.
The morning went well, I talked to my supervisor and printed out some material.

Afternoon:
I had lunch, watched Anabelle Home coming and then went down to shadow an EW. After that we had our unit meeting and I drove home.
Picked up my wife and went to get the kids at my sister's. Hung out for a bit before going home.

Nighttime:
Had dinner, bathed the boys, showered and did laundry. Put Gabriel to bed and now watching some tv. Might watch AEW if it's not too late.
I watched the 2nd episode of AEW and I must say that it still hasn't wowed me. There was a buzz about the Young Bucks vs Private Party match, Jericho apparently made the best promo in wrestling in the last 30 years. Well, that match was ok, too many camera angles showing how they were waiting too long for things. The promo was good, not great. But anyway, people are d&#k riding AEW because they want to hate WWE so much.
For example, at the end of another brawl to end the show for a second week. Some guy rolls down on a skateboard and attacked Jericho. If that was a idea in WWE people would sh*t all over it. But since it was AEW it was the greatest things ever.

Skipped a day

Morning:
Got up, got dressed and headed out to work. Very light traffic. Today we have the interview shadowing.
Got to work, checked in and at 8 I went downstairs. I had 3 shadows before heading up to the forum meeting.

The first training has been good so far, we are almost done. I will be going to have lunch with Tim and Kathleen.

Afternoon:
I walked over to Peet's and grabbed a gift card to give to Sandra for her Birthday. She was also having lunch at the same place we were going to. When we were going to meet, I found out that Tim would not be joining us. I was able to have lunch with Kathleen and we had a good meal and conversation. After I came back to the office and now in the 2nd training.
Oh lord, this training has been a bit challenging. There must be something in the water as we are all a bit irritated with everyone. But we went through the training and now I am going home.

Nighttime:

Nighttime:
Dinner was good, came home. Changed the toilet seat. Changed Gabriel and put him to bed. Took Javi to bed and I went to shower. After I told my wife to go to sleep as she was passed out on the couch. Right now I am watching the rest of Smackdown.

Thursday thoughts

Morning:
Got up, got ready and headed out to work. There was traffic due to a car accident. Got in and checked in. Finished reading the handbook and got on the conference call.

Nighttime:
Made dinner with my wife, had dinner. Started laundry and changed the boys. I showered and put Gabriel to bed. Came out and watched some tv. Now catching up on the AEW show. So far it's been ok, nothing special yet. Pac and Hangman about to go at it.
Well, I saw the show. It was good, not great. It fell flat from the monster expectations it had. There were many lazy spots, spots that looked really bad and the announcers didn't really help with the excitement. The final reveal of Jake Hager as a member of AEW was really meh. The crowd ate it up because they literally will love anything AEW does. Anyway, hope next week it is better. I give the edge this week to NXT.

Drove to work and got there 15 minutes early. Hanging out in the car, a group of homeless people are lounging and doing drugs on the sidewalk.
