Slept in a bit longer than desired. Felt good, but I like getting up earlier as there's always so many things I want to do. Took Lauren to feed Lucy/Abby, snagged her a cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera en route home. AM work meetings and status report work. Took lunch at 11 in order to hit In n Out, Petco for fish filters, HarborFreight, then back for staff. Lots of dialog around stuff that felt like unnecessary level of cooks. Lauren made a French dessert called Clafoutis using nectarines we bought at Costco. I love her cooking, she's really doing some wonderful things. We ran to GOBM to replenish some stuff and grabbed a rope dog toy for Lucky who's absolutely crazy about it. He's fun to play with. Ordered Andale to go and took to Linda for belated father's day dinner. They botched the order and didn't include the chicken for her tacos. Pissed me off but she rolled with it. She liked the Clafoutis too. Returned to walk Abby and Lucy then Lucky and Scottie. Jen setup her solar outdoor lamp, but it was dim. Might need more sun, we'll see how it works tomorrow. I setup a log to track the firepit propane use so we can understand how long a tank might last. I also ordered two 'swaps' from "Cynch" which may be a great ongoing option if it remains cost effective. Watched "Stardust Memories" tonight after having watched Allen vs Farrow over the weekend. Stardust Memories remains one of my favorite movies of his and of all time. I'm torn about the whole issue around separating the art from the artist. Tommy called from Catalina, having a great time, loving his classes. He signed up for more, which I said is on him, but if he can generate some amazon credit doing work when he returns I'll likely want to use it. He needs to get his car back and learn to budget and prioritize. Still, it's wonderful to hear how much he's enjoying this. It's been a long time coming.
