Slept deeply. Slept well. Slept in. Needed all three. Sort of got my focus back, and it helped immensely. Tommy was a continued PITA for most of the day, but I was more conscious about my response and managed things much better this time. I still wanted to bitch-slap him. I just kept my perspective. You know, the one I routinely lose. We eventually managed to work past issues, and I believe I helped find and file the appropriate business papers for him. Still, I don't know that he'll prioritize school. It turns out he didn't go to any classes at all today. WTF!? I'm pissed, but the whole aspect of managing his focus while I'm at work myself does not, uh, work. He treated us to LB Steak. The BMW front-right was super low, found a large screw in it. Fortunately, I have patched worse situations than this. It'll be back on the road tomorrow. We might be back at LB Steak tomorrow too. We ordered a 48oz Tomahawk Rib Eye Medium Rare, and when we got home and cut into it, it was rare, if not raw. Tommy called and politely advised them of the situation, and they might be comp'ing him a return visit. We'll see how that goes. The meal was great, except for that. We watched "In and Of Itself", and I loved it. One line struck me as so subtle and insightful. I paused to allow it to settle in. "I'd like to say it was love at first sight, but I fell in love with all the things I couldn't see." It's something I'd like to watch again. It's weird that, amongst some reviews, somebody made a snarky comment about it being fake and staged. But I'd like to know, to what end? Oh, and today I learned that one of the reasons there are limitations about establishing a business under 18, besides child labor laws, is because most business situations require engaging in contractual agreements. Something you can not be held to as a minor. Fascinating.
