Sunday. The week has seemed to speed by. It's only by looking back at this journal that I can put the breadth of things going on in context and I didn't even write a word about Christmas Day. Sleep was restless, unfortunately, and as much as I love the dog he's a factor but that's not all on him. In any case I managed to get up and 6.56am, 4 min before my 7am alarm forced me out of bed due to it's location. Leaving my phone charging by the door forces me out of bed to turn off its alarm. I worked a meditation in, futzed about on who-recalls-what, and walked the dog with Jen. Tommy was on his way out when we returned, and he spent the day at Extra Hours helping with camp there. We managed to stay low key and linger at home for the day. I worked thorough a handful of high priority tasks including buying some estate planning software and setting up a new dermatology appointment. Then we got news that our friend Brent had some medical issues arise on Christmas Eve, spent the night in the hospital and was home again. We ended up talking w/him shortly after that and learned that he'd had a heart attack. 95% blockage, 3 stents put in, diagnosis of diabetes made and still working through some other anomalies this week. Jesus! Brent's in my age range and as he himself said, he'd never imagined for a moment that he'd ever have a heart attack. It's lit a fire under me to better address my own need for proactive action and awareness of my own health. It's crazy trying to sort out 'fat' from fiction in the realm of advice and documentaries. I'm going to setup a physical though, and talk to my dr about ways to measure and monitor calcium in my bloodstream, amongst other things. It was a pleasant day though, beyond that, just having the TV off and working in parallel on our own tasks. I picked up Tommy from Extra around 4pm, dropped a return of his hockey stick off, got In n Out and returned to Matson. Made a quick run to get his MacBook from Pano before returning to settle in again. I feel good about the day's focus, meditations, interactions w/Tommy, being more fluid while sticking to objects, all worked well. Yet once again the daily 1hr walk eluded me. Ugh. That's one area to improve… get up and get out, make it a higher priority. I'm going to spend the remainder of the evening listening to some meditations and/or other sources of insightful inspiration and strive to keep the laptop closed for the reminder of the night. I've been on it enough for the day, there's other things to do and balancing those needs matter.
