Resisted the temptation to sleep in… applied the "3,2,1" technique to get me up and moving and it was great. Coffee was ready, avoided tech and went straight into a brief meditation. After that I focused on a few work task kick-offs and coordinations and my bi-weekly AM sync w/Ukraine recruiting team. Discussed some candidates and options. Even though he'd been walked by Jen, Scottie was flipping and jumping for attention so I walked him during the scrum and subsequent engArch meeting. Ran a few errands at lunch including dropping some gear for Tommy at Leigh. Worked well throughout the day… in the zone… got many things done. Wrapped it up in time to get kids, then pickup Jen after dropping her car for service. Grocery shopped, household stuff [laundry, pickup] and showered for work in advance, since I'll be taking kids in early before heading to RWC for monthly all-hands.

Gratitude: Listening to "Lesson's from Lucy" made me remember the Guiliamme Barre again and had I not gotten the help I did, my circumstances could be much worse. Although I don't have the numbness and 'sand in my toes' as prominently as I'd wanted, it's still there and I'm becoming conscious of it again. That's good.

Goal: Focused work day tomorrow - stay on this path.

Anticipation: Jen's WFH which will be nice for Scottie and my once I get back from RWC.
