All Hands Meeting
I recently found a handwritten journal I had kept in between the summer before 8th grade all the way to the summer before starting HS. It was embarrassing but also amazing to look back on the minute details of my life. I also realized I've kept a journal for much of my life on a daily basis up until recent years. Here I try again to continue this. I won't reflect much this entry on the past half year since my last update. Maybe I will get into it as I post more but here in this entry I will reflect on this day in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Audrey got up around 6:15. We really aim for her to not get up until closer to 6:45-7 am. Jeff went in and told her to go back to sleep. She stayed quiet until about 6:30 but at that point I went into her room and hung out with her until the 6:46 alarm gave us a green light to get up. She wasn't so angry this morning as she is some mornings. I log into work on my laptop in the playroom since we are all WFH now since March 14 when this quarantine started. Fortunately, Audrey is back at preschool as of earlier this month (7/6) and we are no longer juggling both a toddler and trying to WFH. I will have to update on WFH with Audrey one of these entries. Anyway, now we hang out in the morning until about 8:20ish, when we start getting ready for preschool and arrive at about 9 am for breakfast. Jeff currently drops her off and I pick her up - just like pre-Covid.
Md7 had their all hands company meeting virtually today - no taco man. So sad! Nothing tastes like those tacos. Anyway, my morning just flew by on Zoom calls - 9 am huddle, 9:30 legal call, 11:00 all hands. The legal team dressed up in beach hats, bright shirts, and sun glasses. I followed Stacey's lead and put sunscreen on my nose. I will post a pic in the next entry. Md7 is doing well. Record profit. I am grateful and lucky to still have a job with the flexibility it affords me.
After the long morning of calls I was starving and we stopped by 99 Ranch for noodles and chili oil and got then got Chipotle for lunch.
Finished lunch and was so food coma-ed I had to take a nap and really didn't start real work today until about 2 pm. Then worked through until 4:15ish at which time I had to stop to pick up Audrey.
Garlic crack noodles for dinner.
