I got up and got right to work on ensuring we made it out the door in time for Tommy's 8.45 lesson. While I gave myself a full hour, he spent 20-30 min f'ing around on his phone. Lauren was better about it, but still, what is so difficult about the idea that you FIRST get all the work done and only then, laze about with any free time you have left? We barely made it out and barely made it there on time, only to find he'd forgotten his helmet. Something maybe he'd have remembered had he not been pressed for time, right? That resulted in Lauren using hour 1 of his 3 hr lesson and him only getting 2. Darius brought the helmet, he got it, and Lauren and I jumped on a call related to her vision and driving options. It was a good call and we left with some next steps and a pretty good feeling that we would find options for her. She went off to ski, I putz'd around the village. Tommy caught up with me, then Lauren, and we left around 2. The drive back was decent, although wet and snow-ish over Donner Pass. We returned to Matson and Scottie was quite excited to see us all. We walked him, I dropped Lauren at Pano and returned to play with him for quite awhile. Jen ordered and received the new coffee maker, which also does hot water for tea. It's a luxury I enjoyed at the cabin and she had 'points' to burn. I could not get the dryer to work, and the likelihood is it's a thermal fuse but it could be the outlet itself, but that's less likely. I'm going to just pay to have it fixed, as the effort is more than I want to mess with. I had a nice time getting away but it's great to be home and tomorrow I'll return to my routines.
