I am moderately rushed, as it's late and I have reading lined up. Great AM walk w/Lauren after yet-another frustrating start ending with me dropping Tommy off in stoic silence. I'm working on accepting he is who he is and stop having expectations of otherwise. Work was good but it's getting scary thinking about what will/won't happen…. and when, GNO at Rock Bottom outside was great. Really great. We have an awesome routine gathering that's crossed into tradition, Pleasant PM dog walk taking with Jen. Snoring dog signaling it's time wrap up.
Gratitude: I realized today that this effort, daily journalling, has become one of the best things I've done for myself. I'm getting rewarded nightly with the chance to stare into the reflection on the day behind me, sift and capture descriptors of my experiences in writing, allowing me to read and realize in retrospect just how many things happen in even the simplest of days. Otherwise they're lost, the so many things to be conscious of and grateful for… the comfort of routines, the hardships of disruptions and chaos, and those scattered incidental moments as simple as dog walks, friendships and teen-wrangling
Goal: Review and draft/send weekly status and capture all known open tasks in/outside of Jira.
Anticipation: 3 day weekend coming up.
