Tommy stayed home and recouped quickly. The Aleve really seemed to help. I got in a mediation and worked until lunch when we got his gear from Carl's and I dropped him a Pano. There was another flurry of texts that just reminded me of how impossible it seems to be considered to have any value or perspective so I just returned to the baseline mandate of not engaging in it. I might have to become more aggressive about it, totally not my nature, but going with my nature to try and help or be kind backfires quickly. Really frustrating. Something for another day and another blog. On a more positive note, I was thrilled last night to have had Lindsey drop off the box of camera gear from my mom's house. I mean, Teary-eyed-happy. Photos I have scanned of my childhood, a massively dense collection through early teens, were all shot on this actual Yashica 35mm camera. And the medium format camera was my moms, which I used and learned on, including developing my own film and making my own enlargement. These are as much a part of my legacy youth as the wooden cat and dog, my father's pen, and a few other items I have or am still pursuing. Hint… one's really REALLY close to being acquired, and that too will bring more teary-eyed joy of reminiscence. I guess age does breed sentimentality. Dinner w/kids and Jen at Aqui's new location was decent but the place feels too small. Scottie's hopefully going to Eric G.'s clinic this week for teeth cleaning and inspection. I hope to know more tomorrow.
Gratitude: Being sentimental. It's genuine.
Goal: 2 mile walk w/Lauren tomorrow.
Anticipation: Catching up on writing that's appearing within reach to complete.
