I took a break from walking with Lauren this morning to mix up my routine. I had a chance to meditate, walk the dog, spend some time with Jen. It was a pleasant start. The meditation yesterday was about generosity, how we should strive for it as a goal but not berate ourselves for not achieving it at the sacrifice of all of our other equal feelings and needs. It resonated with me. I didn't visit Linda yesterday, but I worked from 9-12 this morning at SRC. Linda was asleep for the majority of the time. The medications were changed this morning, and will take a day or two to make a difference. It appears to be a step in the right direction. I found that the nurse had Hindi music playing on her phone while attending to Linda to be rude, yet I felt like I could not say anything about it without being offensive. I should have. Monday's quarterly board meeting went well. I felt good about my presentation segment and even threw in a good "Justin-Time-Delivery" joke for good measure. I tried taking a 100% CBD gummy Monday night to see if it would improve my sleep. Hard to say after one try, but I don't think it made much difference. I've reached a point of having tea each evening. Yeah, I'm that old. I spent a chunk of my afternoon going through my stored clothes, and I was thrilled to find I could fit back into a lot of them. I sorted things out for 'now,' 'soon,' and 'later.' It's invigorating to feel a sense of accomplishment. Still, why does one "Large" not fit while another one does? Why do some 36" waist shorts fit while others do not? It seems like there'd be a simple standard. I passed on a PM interview opportunity at Google because it's not something I'm interested in doing, and I didn't want to waste my or their time. I finally took some time to watch "The Father" with Anthony Hopkins. Wow. What a phenomenal performance and a well-crafted and moving story.
