The kids got dropped off a bit after 10am. Tensions continue regarding the boosted board and I'm trying to work with him on resolving it,. Jennifer had made some Keto cinnamon rolls. They were delicious, as is pretty much anything she makes. It was a beautiful morning albeit windy as hell. Tommy suggested that we go to Los Altos, which I was eager to agree to. Mainly because it is rare that he wants to go places with us. So we backed up the dog and headed up. The dog has been getting better every day, although we've been waiting for him to poop and we found this afternoon that he'd been doing so, we just didn't realize it until we found some 'evidence' in both the front and back yards. Once we returned we put on "1917". Tommy had not seen it. He enjoyed it and I was glad to have a chance to watch it with him. Lauren and I ran some errands including getting some graph paper (I love graph paper) and hitting Costco for some necessary home supplies. Used the typewriter to draft a longer version of this post for the fun of it and it's definitely fun. A bit frustrating on occasion but more fun than anything else. I just need to get a couple keys to work more fluidly. Spent a chunk of the evening helping Tommy study for a history quiz. They really have some significant stuff they've covered and have to remember it's pretty amazing.
Gratitude: Having options in a world where so many things could have such catastrophic consequences to my and my loved ones well being. No matter how bad things might get, there's so many people in so many situations that I could never imagine enduring.
Goal: I need to continue to improve in mindfulness when things get chaotic and frustrating with the kids. I don't always roll with things when It feels like too many people are making unilateral and conflicting decisions.
Anticipation: Weighing in and hopefully seeing further progress.
Watched 1917. Read assorted articles sent to Kindle on various topics.
Accomplishments: Meditation Walking Parenting Cleanup
