Even though I make it clear the night before that we had to be on the road by 6.15am if I was going to take him to LGSR, even though he was told repeatedly that Lauren was going to come walk with me, he was late, snarky about her going, and I told him to stop bitching or I'd turn around. He didn't. I did. And things were tense. Lauren and I walked to 7-11 and back, he went to his room and I went about my workday. Late, gradually, he resurfaced, the issue was never spoken of, and seemingly gracefully accepted. We'll try tomorrow. Meanwhile, I setup Jen's Kindle so I can give my mom a shot at using it for a week to see if she'd like one. I ran him to the gym in the PM and waited at Panera doing work tasks until he was ready. Then I went home and made something I've been craving, something similar to the Chicken dish I used to get at Willow St, with grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, along with bacon, garlic, onion, mushrooms and artichoke hearts. It was awesome, they loved it, and Jen even mentioned how it reminded her of something she used to order at Willow St. Classic moment. One of many to be grateful for. I'm extremely excited to be getting Steve's "Tex" book into Dean's hands to read and consider as a screenplay. That would be wonderful. The positive aspect of my most recent efforts to get realigned with actions and restrictions that take me towards my goals are coming to fruition. I'm managing stress a wee-bit more gracefully and, even though the first 5 minutes sucks, getting up and getting out daily is a positive move as well. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's walk and a chance to continue one of several audiobooks.
