Managed to get up earlier than yesterday, and made the most of the morning by keeping things simple, waking slowly, and avoiding the temptation to check emails or slack until I was ready to start woking. That's a tough habit to break and almost instinctual at this point, but if I jump right into work, there's no time for me to maintain a needed balance. Work was good, lots of engagement and activity. Low key evening with Tommy being dropped while Lauren was at tech theater doing haunted house until 9.15pm. Good walk/talk w/Jen and Scottie discussing the book "Daring to Drive" and all the cultural differences that exist, as well as the assumptions each would hold as to what's "right". It's a really powerful topic and one I find fascinating. Testing out moving to the iPad Pro for writing/reading again. Always a struggle to adapt to the smaller keyboard and annoying to have f'ing things popping up due to the proximity of the keyboard to the screen. Reaching to hit delete keeps bringing up the damned editor. Oh and hey, hitting delete key also deletes emails from the inbox while writing an email. WTF.
