I had a reasonably decent night's sleep, elusive as that tends to be. I'm experimenting with a few variations on assorted rituals, libations, ambient noises and other components. Sucks to need to do anything at all but there's enough factors at play that contribute to the situation and I have some plans for 2020 to make some changes that will hopefully result in improvements. Kids were with us last night and today. It was a pleasant day including a bit of 1:1 time with Lauren getting a bagel breakfast, time spent trying to help Tommy balance impulse over intention when trying to get his mom on the same page about his boosted board, and making a 2nd pass at trimming the dog (with a 3rd still needing to follow). While both were out and about with friends doing their own respective things, Jen and I shopped and she went on a focus food production run resulting in step, a chicken rice dish and phenomenal enchilada soup too. All packed up and stored for meals, kitchen cleaned and coffee setup for the AM.
Gratitude: Making the effort to set aside and better manage tech distractions is proving to be rewarding, which in turn, becomes motivation to continue doing so.
Anticipation: Hamilton matinee tomorrow.
