Woke to texts re. Tommy issues at Pano, then a nice call from Lauren en route to school. Work was good, onsite for weekly staff meeting. Feeling a bit of optimism but mixing in cautious skepticism too. Discussed a couple of HR issues w/Donna. Chased down some GDPR compliance needs. 1:1 w/Ops too. More to manage tomorrow. Nice afternoon working w/Scottie. Gave him a bath. Tommy showed up unexpectedly, which I think I handled well given the circumstances. It's not an option for him to do without agreement from both parents and I'm working to get that flexibility…., we'll see how that goes, hopefully we can have a less rigid situation for the next 1.5yrs.
Gratitude: Parenting is complicated but I feel grateful to think I'm managing it well in such instances. Others, not so much.
Goal: More walking and perhaps jogging too… may try a light jog tomorrow to test the waters.
Listened to Podcast about aging, stumbled across and enjoyed the shared perspective that others still feel like a teen at times, too. Read and will continue reading fascinating article by Shermer about beliefs, really important to remember. https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/el-paso-dayton-gilroy-shootings-guns-dont-kill-people-beliefs-do/
