Wednesday is the 'rest day' from the AM trek to LGSR, but I got up early anyway, and had a great monring. I doubled down on mediation and listened to the daily podcasts I have added to a 'library' for my daily listening pleasure. I cleaned up a slew of podcast cruft and organized things nicely. I trimmed out a bunch of 'noise' with the intention of using any podcast time for things of particular interest or relevance to a routine focus. I can search/listen for anything ad-hoc but I want a simple set of content I use for daily inspiration, current events and a couple fav's like "CineFiles". I also fixed an annoying issue with photos not sync'ing or retaining shared albums. I still need to get the shared photos to Linda. I started working on it but encountered issues. Now that their fixed I can continue. After the struggles with trying to negotiate a revision to custody, and some of the things she refused to compromise on, and some of the shit I know she's still saying about me, I started thinking about not continuing the effort. But I don't want to be like that. The photos are of our lives, kids, experiences, and such, and being vindictive is neither productive or necessary or who I want to be. OK, maybe for the first hour or two, but it dissipates. Routinely. I managed to stay on track with reasonable eating, perhaps too much but still the 'right' things. I think I'll make a revised effort re portion and timing tomorrow. 3 meals, 10-6 range, fist size. I didn't get any time in with reading or audiobooks but I did watch the Oprah conversation with Obama. He's everywhere, promoting his book, and it's good to see and hear the stories and experiences. I'll be watching part two of the Bush documentary soon. Lauren was here, I gave Jen a break, made her a drink, made lemongrass chicken for dinner, and we all sat, ate, talked, and took a long drive out and about. We did a 'personal history' tour of prior homes and such. It was great. So much better a use of our evenings time than sitting at home and watching other people live a life instead of us. I got a response from Dean re my initial feedback on the script and I appreciate his acceptance of my thoughts. I'm looking fowrard to continuing. One more thing on my plate. But that's a good thing, because the term 'my plate is full' need not be about burden. It can be about abundance, friendship, interests and opportunities.
