See? This is what happens

I mentioned yesterday that because the lack of hard training this week, my mind is suddenly free to do whatever it pleases. In a general sense, that means I basically check out. Because training is so structured -- as is the time around it -- I'm pretty focused. But this week? An hour on the bike here or there? You lost me.

On Tuesdays I pick up Jack from daycare. Chris goes to the gym that day. Same for Thursday. This week, though, the schedule is flipped around because of conferences. Of course, that's at the end of the week, not Tuesday. Despite that, something clicked in my head at some point late in the afternoon -- "I don't have to get Jack today."

So I kept doing what I was doing. Picking up a copy of iLife 09 from the Apple Store, filling up the car with gas. No problem. Well, one problem -- I was supposed to pick up Jack.

When my phone rang at 5:45, I recognized the number and said, "oh hell." I was out the door pretty quick. And when I got there -- it's only about five minutes away -- he was waiting, coat, hat and gloves on. Whoops. Sorry.

I have the schedule straight for the rest of the week now. I may even follow it.

Since I haven't posted pictures in a while, go here and here for plenty of Jacket.
