I managed to get a good meditation in, and appreciated the focus of the 2nd on the Bruce Lee quote about "Bending with the Wind". It fit well into some of my recent decisions to just let tension and conflict pass by instead of being pulled into confrontation that will not change the situation for the better. Work was good. I was passed over in the all hands but didn't really mind. I was surprised, but I didn't mind. I focused on work for the majority of the day. I took Lauren to see her mom afterwards, then we ran a cycle of errands – getting her food, grabbing the GOBM card, and getting her hair cut. Drastically short. Shorter than she wanted or expected. She's rolling with it, she's good natured about it. Had a nice moment on the patio with just myself and the kids talking about their mom's condition. It felt honest and genuine. I listened to more of "Being Mortal" related podcasts as I stuck to my "Atomic Habit" of cleaning the kitchen and getting the house decluttered. It's really valuable to me to do so. I occasionally feel like I'm "put upon" because I'm the only one that does it, but Jen does lots of things to offset that and then some and the kids, well, they are coming along a bit. Just a bit. I stopped by Panorama as well. Lauren fed her fish, I grabbed the unused answering machine so I can let my mom use it so she gets 'caller id' announcement and can just not answer the phone, and a candle I want to take to Linda that she might appreciate having there.
