Very focused productive work day. So many things going on but moving to tracking all the tasks in Jira is under way and will help greatly. Managed to work out the renegotiation of a vendor contract in a way that was reasonable and a savings so I'm happy about that. I've coordinated with Linda to have Tommy tomorrow am through Sun am and he will be 100% focused on getting ALL backlogged school tasks managed 9-5 daily. The clock is ticking and it's time to empower enable and enforce focus and action. I'm pretty hopeful it works but also trying to be realistic that it'll be a possible struggle for him to focus and sit still. Yet that's how he got in this position in the 1st place. Had some insinuations from his mom about what I/Jen do or do not say or do regarding his actions, tone, words and treatment of her. It's a recurring theme and the truth remains that I/we do actually promote positive treatment and discourage the negative, constantly. That it's assumed otherwise is insulting but I stopped defending myself long ago. Chatted a few times w/Lauren throughout the day, they're back at Pano for the time being and she's always a joy to talk to. Looking fwd to her being with us tomorrow, as always. I have a few library books all coming available at once so I'm torn but hope to start something new shortly and set aside "Born to Run" because it's easier to reserve again vs the newer titles.
