A restless night sleep with rampant stressful ruminations ended at dawn. Still, as I strive to maintain consistency, I started the day with a routine meditation. It's not always easy but I can I try to not put anything into my thoughts beforehand, such as emails or conversations or anything that might 'spin the day up'. Work was productive and my presentation of the story point calculations was well received. Melissa texted me out of nowhere, wanting to talk about something. I called and learned of her having some serious medical issues going on. It felt good to be of support and I'm hoping she's able to get through some challenging issues.Tommy flipped another grade, and we drove from LG Swin & Raquet to Pano to get Lauren, snagged el pollo via drive thru, and then all the way to Grant ranch. Each time he's doing better, or I am, or we are. In any event it was a good drive. I drove us back since it was getting dark. I learned of the release of "Tea for the Tillerman 2". How powerful it is now, to listen to Yusuf (Cat Stevens) perform Father & Son 50 years later. I first listened to it at 17 and identified with the son, and now as the father of a 17yr old of my own. Lauren and I watched a bit of Les Mis 25th Anniversary performance, and it brought Denise to mind, who'll I'll always remember. having introduced me to it back in the early 90's at 21st Century. Lauren and I have tickets for June 2021. I'm going to see Jack Marks next Wed which will be wonderful, it's been too long and I'm grateful we are able to coordinate meeting up. Getting old suck and I don't want to miss out on opportunities I might not have again.
