Dropped Lauren at Leigh after stopping at Pano to hove her hair braided. She's such a wonderful daughter and a lovely young lady. I had that 'wow she's growing up so fast' feeling as she left to go into school. Dropped Tommy afterwards. Saw Linda briefly in Starbucks while waiting for Tommy and she made a point of saying she was picking up a coffee for a friend as if she was 'caught' spending money on coffee or something. Silly. But revealing too. Work was weird – spent the day working on due diligence stuff and juggling communications but had a hard time reaching Marlin to get feedback. Seems like this'll be the way it goes for awhile - time crunches and parallel tasks. I setup the porch to welcome trick-or-treaters with the Welded Beasts pumpkin and candles and halloween sounds that I later turned off. Didn't have many, between 15-30 or so. Getting Lauren in a bit from the Nokes house while Tommy stays at Pano.
I want to learn to be less cynical at times. Halloween sorta annoys me but I am glad I had it for my own childhood and that of my own kids, so why be so cynical? It's something I should enjoy and not find irritating. Even the disgruntled entitled teen… WTF.. let 'em have some fun.
I am looking forward to getting past the meetings tomorrow, and to going into it with a positive attitude.
