Lauren recently decided she wanted an Apple Watch and I had been reconsidering getting one again myself, primarily for the fitness and health aspects. I found and purchased one from a craislist seller on Tuesday, a series 4 44mm space gray w/cellular, and Lauren found one on CL too, a series 3 42mm stainless steel with cellular. So, in what amounts to less than 24hrs we both have them and it's been fun sharing the experience too. We had some issues with 'activation lock' on hers but the seller worked with us and unlocked it. I had forgotten about that, as it happened to me when I sold my Series 3 last year. We enjoyed Tuesday evening picking out bands on amazon together, and then, this morning, Tuesday 1/20, I took her for her dental appointment for wisdom tooth extraction. It went well. I waited in the lobby listening to the Biden inauguration while she was put out and they were pulled. It went relatively quick, about 1.5hrs or 2. I got her a Jamba on the way back to Pano and ran to CVS to get prescriptions. Linda came out and we talked for some time. It was pleasant but heart breaking too, in some ways, as I could sense how difficult things are for her right now. It was a pleasant exchange and made me feel optimistic that perhaps with more time we might find a better middle ground, but I also am concerned about her emotional state. She'd not been sleeping, it seems, from stress, and I tried my best to put that into perspective. Work went well, looks good for the PPP loan and the 2-intern move for FE coverage Tommy was restless so at 4pm we went for a 2.5hr drive up skyline and into PA then down foothill and through Stevens creek into Saratoga and down into LG. It was overdue. I've been busy and have had little time to do these sort of things. I'm glad I did. I retuned, got a bit of time w/Jen and the dog, ran some samples of whiskey to JS's porch in advance of our GNO. GNO was great fun again, as always. This group of 4 remains a well balanced dynamic that I'm grateful to have a part in. Scrambled to modestly maintain my daily 10pm bed time target with coffee queue'd and ready for tomorrow. Although I want to read, I may forego that tonight.
