"I am trying, Ringo… I'm trying really hard to be the shepherd.". I"ve had a hard time maintaining my composure today, as I've had one of those clusterf**k days of endless complications trying to manage multiple demands at once, including work fires, internet outages at Panorama, and more. I took Lauren to see Linda late afternoon, then to Panorama to drop some things off and home. I"m burning out. I'd love a week or two just getting some mental space. That's not gonna happen. I'm going to try to reclaim some space by returning to some routines that worked well for me prior.
