Yesterday was relatively low-key. Lauren went back to Pano w/her mom while Tommy stayed w/us. He/I ended up doing some driving about and getting her to Viktorjia's and back to feed animals while they're away. I'm happy to have him with us but it will require some adaption of routine and expectations. I'm used to a 'balance' of opportunities to focus in specific areas of my own and that's going to need to be restructured. I'm thinking more these days about the limited time I have to put into anything goal-oriented and once again, feeling like I need to reduce distractions further. Even stuff like keeping up on the daily news or watching SNL is really a waste of time, when that same time can be spent finding motivations in other podcasts, reading more, or just being still. I like being still, or at least, having some level of calm balance out the chaos, anxiety and uncertainty that is the world we live in these days. I'm expecting some drama this week regarding the custody change. I punted going to my mom's to tonight so I'll be there this evening to watch Hamilton with her. Last night Scottie was all amp'd up about noises and smells in the back yard. We had the doors open and it was fun to get up and just sit with him as he stood guard, smelling the air and moving his head about in short fast movements, looking about for the cat, squirrel, rat or possum that was bound to traverse the fence or wires. It was worth getting up for. This AM Tommy's whipping up some Chorizo 'n Eggs for breakfast. "Noice!".
