It's been a decent couple of days. I'm continuing to tweak some habit goals, increasing some, reducing others. I want the right balance wherein I don't find myself doing things begrudgingly or out of obligations. It's about long and short-term desires and objectives. Tommy and I went on a good walk Monday am and may again tomorrow. He's knee-deep in his business ideas. I keep working to ensure he focuses on school, but at the same time, he's driving, motivated and knowledgeable, and good at what he does. So, I'm just trying to focus less on control and more on encouraging balance and completion. I met with Linda at AAA to help with w/the transfer of ownership paperwork. It turns out I wasn't needed, as the title was an "or" not an "and" ownership. In either event, I pulled her aside and voiced concerns over her well being. I pointed out recent examples of behavior I have noticed and statements overheard from the kids. She insists she's fine, just anxious about money. It's a fine line I'm walking when discussing finances. I have a good deal of resentment around it. Lauren asked me about going to Tahoe with Viktorija and her family. To make a long story short, she's going, we both worked out the logistics with her mom, and I'm going too. It's with a family I know/trust as far as covid risks go; their daughter and Lauren are good friends and, I can't pass it up. I need a change of scenery. Lauren's excited, too. Win-win. We watched "A Kind of Heaven" on Amazon. It's about "The Village" retirement community in Florida, and it was very well made. There was great cinematography throughout. There were captivating characters and plot lines. And, it's an actual documentary, not a production. It's fascinating to imagine the 'bubble' that exists, yet the complex emotional conflicts that life in a bubble can not resolve. I watched or listened to fragments of the impeachment testimony on days 1 and 2. It's stark and undeniable that the actions of January 6th were the outcome of the former president's non-stop delusional rhetoric. It's also unlikely that the GOP will hold him accountable. The hypocrisy is disheartening. Jen and I attended and enjoyed our bi-weekly cards game. Oh, and today I learned that Tommy's friend Vinnie abandoned his Instagram business effort because it was no longer profitable. He said it's too much work and an elusive moving target. Fascinating.
