Ended up not going into RWC today as planned. Realized that doing so tomorrow and with more insight into the plans for vacating and hardware removal would be better. Also, Adam comes tomorrow and Jen’s excited, but a bit concerned about him being comforable at our house. It’s reminiscent of how I went through a moderately similar situation in my late teens when living at home still, and my mom having a boyfriend. I had to come to grips with the realization that parents are people too. There’s a point in which a relationship between a parent and child transforms intos an adult-adult one, predominently. I recall that and believe that lies ahead for Jen and Adam. I setup the initial patio lights as a trial and realized quickly that i need more and a canopy vs a border setup, so that’ll be done this week. I gave Lauren her diamond earrings and she loved them. Its something I wanted to do since she first got the piercing. Tommy and I got into a fight and he later apologized and said it’s the tension from Pano overflowing into our relationship when it should not. I tried to maintain a neutral position whie allowing him to express his feelings. I simply said we (Lauren too) could and should do all we can to Foster a more positive environment. I wish I could convey To her how things are working against her buT i’m dismissed or blamed, or both. Ended the day listening to an “In the studio” session with John Mellencamp discussing “The Lonesome Jubilee”. I enjoy his perspective and take on society, people, government, media and more.
