6.30am rise, again. Not 'fun' forcing myself up, but worth it when I get the gratification of having the time and opportunities that come with it. Hoping to sustain it, at least into the fall. Work day was productive. "Ate the frog" related to Melissa Data review. Stayed focused and engaged throughout the day. Put Tori Amos virtual interview on, they struggled with connection (host) but she was gracious and very interesting. It's been fun revisiting the artistry of her and Kate Bush. Hope to start her book soon. I'm a bit on book overload atm. Kids are with us tonight. Tommy's neighborhood friends came to work on the eBike one of them has. I enjoy having the 2/2/3 rotation back in play again it's really nice to not go 5 days apart. Next week will be disrupted by the asbestos removal work at Pano and they'll be in a hotel, but I think Tommy will likely want to stay at Matson. I'm cool with it.
I have an increasing sense of urgency and desire to return to writing more. I've set it aside for some time, in part due to this journal effort but that'd be an excuse to hide from if I were not being honest. I just need to return to focus on thematic posts on my other blogs. Deeper dives than the casual daily reflections this is intended to be.
Gratitude: Hoping not to jinx it, but, with very rare exceptions, I've yet to see the loss of loved ones. I know it's an eventuality, but for many my age, but i'm grateful to have been reasonable spared so far.
