The workday was good, got some lingering tasks done and all with Tommy coming in the AM to focus on getting late assignments in before the deadline. I think he did well given that he's not prone to spending that much time (9am-4pm with breaks and lunch) doing homework. It's touchy too trying to find the right balance of helping him focus and keeping him on track without getting into the whole oppositional snark that shuts things down so quickly. Keeping that in mind helps and I think, hope, that he's on track to get the remaining things caught up to at least get out of the hole he's dug himself into. This has been a good lesson for me, at least, about the hard truth that being 'hands off' didn't result in him taking ownership and next two years I'll be more engaged in the daily routine. Zeros will pretty much shut things down as far as anything going on or being done until those are addressed. Jen was great about the day and gave me lots of support and Lauren's possibly going to help in the AM w/French catch up before going to Pano until PM. I've reserved a convertable Friday-Sunday so we have a vehicle to enjoy some long drives out and about in the nice weather.... covid permitting. The rate was really low and it just feels like a fun way to take a deep breath after a full and focused effort and long week.
