The daily routines are pretty consistent these days. As redundant as that sounds. After "the usual," I spent the morning at my mom's setting up an AirPort Extreme as a workaround to the 2.4GHz issues that were preventing her broader use of the Apple watch. And, it worked! She can now send/receive messages, use the walkie-talkie feature, call, and more. I'll be sending some links to videos for her to watch and learn. It gives me a great deal of comfort to know that she has it. I also stopped and helped her with a recurring issue there, the freezer drain clogging, resulting in ice building and eventually dripping out. I resumed the "Antkind" audiobook, and as much as I do like it, it's just not resonating right now. I think I will move onto another option, still trying to determine where I want to put that time and energy and what I want out of it. Lauren was at her mom's, Tommy was at EH again, came home around 5, seemed to be in a crappy mood. I've invited him to walk tomorrow am to Bagel Basket because I need the exercise, and it would be nice to get the time together. Jen made stew and made me cookies again, too. I am so grateful for her. I watched the PBS Frontline episode "Trump's American Carnage". It's hard to believe how dramatically things went awry over the past four years.
