Afternoon:

Ate lunch, went to hang out with Amilcar for a bit before going back up for the pm training. It was just about the same, some hiccups. Including management again repeating my part.

Bad night, stomach was hurting like crazy, Gabriel was trying to have a party at 4 in the morning. I ended up getting up earlier than usual to get ready and headed out. A lot of things on my mind, a lot of potential changes that may be happening soon. But anyway, I put clothes to dry, made my coffee and headed out to work. The drive was smooth, there is a lot of construction around, but I got a good spot. Now waiting to walk over to work, I have to update a slide on the power point for the training today.

Well, there was a fire alarm and quite a bit of distractions during the training. The usual suspects that do not listen and continue to talk during training and never learn. We ended up saving the training.

I try to get Javi to be open to trying new things, but he is just a scary kid and I get no support or back up from my wife on this.

They see it as being mean, I see it as trying to get Javi to prepare himself for new challenges and adventures. You can't always play it safe, you have to take that leap to go places. Bit like always, I am always in the wrong.

Oh well, it is what it is. Watching tv until bed.

I had lunch and chilled, I got my schedule for tomorrow for the panel interview. I am relaxing until we go again at 2 for training. Should go quick as well. I went to set up for the next training and it was pretty close to the capacity of the list. The training went well, got some good jokes in there to wake the crowd up. We finished pretty early, but that is ok. Right now I am going to wait for a bit before leaving, I have to power walk to the car, change my shirt and start taking out the garbage we need to take out for pick up tomorrow. I also have to put away some clothes and get my outfits ready for tomorrow to look dapper for the panel interview assignment.

I left work and walked to my car, the walk was good. Drove home and I came into the house to see that they just threw my things wherever they wanted, lost a few pieces of the wrestling ring and still have the nerve to be mad at me.

Anyway, I went to take the trash out and now watching NXT.
(Afternoon: Water, salad, Doritos, fig newton,guava pastry)

Nighttime:

Still hanging out, tired, sleepy and hungry. Hung out with the boys, helped Javi with his homework, changed Gabriel and let him run around a bit while I threw out the last of the trash. I put him to bed while talking to my mom. After I showered and got my bow tie ready for tomorrow. Javi went to bed and I played 2 games of Madden and watched some episodes of Curb your Enthusiasm. 

Going to bed soon.

(Nighttime: water, jalapeno peppers, dumplings, frosted mini wheats)

back at work

Morning:

Got up, got dressed,  put clothes to dry, made Gabriel a bottle, made my coffee and headed out. It's cold outside, really cold. The drive to work was smooth, found parking, but it's full around here. Going to nap until I have to start walking in this cold weather.
I woke up from my nap and started to walk to work, it is cold, really cold, windy and cold. Did I mention it is cold?
The walk was a brisk one, I go t to the building and got to my desk, checked emails and found out that I we are being asked to join a panel interview for 2905 candidates. I signed up for Thursday and Friday, I did the pre training we were asked to do. Tomorrow I have to do the make up training on Pickle, DAC and DW. One at 1440 and the other one here at 1235.
About to make some copies and chill.

(Morning: boost, water, coffee)

Afternoon:
Gpt a call from my wife that Gabriel had a great time at preschool, so gald he did. It's a big change for him, glad he is trying to adjust to it. Waiting for Kathleen to be done with her interview for the 2913 postion for CAAP, so I can see her out, then I will go have lunch. I brought a sandwich and left over wings from Sad Sunday as I will refer to it as. Anyway, work has been ok, been reading items and going over the trainings, waiting for my time for the panel interview assignment. I am going over in my head what I will wear those 2 days so I can look professional for the assignment. After all these candidates are looking for work and they deserve to see us at our best.

Had lunch and you know what, it still stings, it really f'ing sucks that the Niners lost. I really just want to scream, I hope the days help this feeling pass by, it really really sucks. 

Anyway, about to continue listening to a podcast and chill until it's time to go home. Not sure if I am picking up Javi today.

Left work, got to the car and drove home. Washed dishes and Gabriel woke up so I came over to put him back down to nap. 
(Afternoon: Water, sandwich, wings)

Nighttime:

Made coffee, but I think it got cold. Going to see how it is in a bit. Not sure if we are doing anything or having dinner. I need to make lunch for tomorrow or maybe I get something on the way back to my desk. Since I have trainings in 2 buildings.

The coffee was warm, I was helping Javi with his homework and Gabriel work up. After Javi was done we worked on his Valentine's day cards for his classmates. I bathed the boys after that and went to pick up some sushi. 

We had dinner and I put Gabriel to bed,  showered after and now just watching tv before bed.

(Nighttime: coffee, water, donut, sushi)

the day after

Morning:

Had the day off, I couldn't sleep, still upset about the game. I kept waking up and thinking about it. But what can we do? We move on. I got up, showered, got dressed, changed Gabriel as today is his first day of preschool. 

My mother in law took Javi to school,  my wife and I took Gabriel to preschool, it was not a fun moment. Poor Gabriel cried and cried, my wife cried. I had to send her out of the classroom so he could stop. He didn't, I had to sit him down and leave. But I know he will be ok, he is a big boy.

After we came home, now waiting for my phone appointment with Kaiser.

Appointment was quick, they are sending me some paperwork to sign, when I send it back they will refer me to the specialist. 

After I went to Target to get the boys their Valentine's day cards and some chocolates. When I got home I rested a bit.

(Morning: Coffee, water, glazed donut)

Afternoon:

My Mom got to my house and we went to go pick up Gabriel at preschool. He was eating and we got home and I put him in the car to leave with my Mom so we could get things done.

I called the Giants ticketing office to see what was going on with my tickets, they are listed under my sister's name. They said everything should be fine. I had some wings and fig newton cookies with Gatorade and heading over to my sister's house to wash the comforter.

Here washing and waiting. My Mom went to pick up Javi and to drop off her car at Ford, going to take her home before going home.

Took my mom home and drove home.

(Afternoon: wings, fig newton, Gatorade, water)

Nighttime:

Got home, started laundry and ate dinner. Had a chat with Javi and I washed dishes. Now hanging out, going to shower soon. Before that I got Gabriel ready and made his bottle, brushed his teeth and tried to get him to sleep. It took some time but he went down after Javi came into the room. Now I will shower and finish laundry.

Not going to lie, I am still upset over the game, but I will get over it. Just need time to get further away from it. Anyway, watched RAW, did some accounting and finished laundry. Now going to bed.

(Nighttime: water, Gatorade,  individual chicken pot pie, corn chips, golden oreo cookies)

Super Bowl Sunday

Morning: 

Got up, changed Gabriel's diaper,  cleaned the bed, moved the car and made coffee. Waiting for my mother in law to get out of the bathroom so I can shower. The boys are changed into their Niners gear, need to get ready for the Magic Unicorn pic. Today is the Super Bowl,  Niners vs Chiefs. Hoping the Niners come out on top.

I ordered some wingstop for pick up later. Very anxious and nervous right now, I hope the team is feeling much better than I am right now lol.

Got the boys ready, I showered and took our game day Magic Unicorn picture.

(Morning: coffee)

Afternoon:

Played some Madden,  not watching the pregame shows, a bit tired of the KC bias. Just ready for the game. We went to Target to get a few things for Gabriel's first day of preschool tomorrow. Came back home, finished my game and now waiting to go pick up the food and for kick off.

Went to go pick up the wings and they were not ready, they were running behind. So we came back home and watched then1st quarter and I went back to get the food. I didn't eat until halftime. 

(Afternoon: water, golden oreo cookies, wingstop, beer)

Nighttime:

Ate, finished watching the game. Unfortunately the quest for six will have to wait another year. The Niners lost 31-20, although it was closer than that. It hurts, but the Niners had an awesome season. Didn't end how we wanted but that's sports for you, heartbreak for days. 

Bathed the boys, going to shower and chill.

Still pretty bummed about the game, trying not to watch tv to remind me of it. Watching a movie, about to go to sleep.

(Nighttime: boosts water)
