Slept well, wondering if it was the 'white noise', diet changes, alcohol abstinence or all three. We'll see tonight. 6.30am rise worked yet again, still a PITA to stick to but ROI is clear. David joined SCRUM, shared his news, and we walked through coverage ideas and such. I pushed back on cost reductions to MM and cited all the efforts and dual responsibilities and my needs. We'll see where that lands. Meanwhile Sharanya turned in notice. I'm happy for her growth opportunity but pensive about the ramifications and responses. This is the dam wall cracking. More to come I fear. Tommy asked to be w/me as a custody exception and got dropped at 5 and we had a wonderful time getting some 1:1 outdoors. More often than not he hangs out in his room. Took the "merc" as he calls it, and cameras, and went to Umunhum. Expected some nice clouds at sunset and was not disappointed. Photos don't do it justice, but one comes close, see below. No filter. Returning down Hicks we were redirected back and through Almaden due to an accident. Worked out fine. I'm grateful fhat it seems the positives of our shared experiences outweigh the negatives. They're turning 17 soon. It's hard to fathom so much time has gone by.
