Highlights: I opt'd to sleep in and walk Wed with Lauren. I'm pretty aggressive about getting up early, at least I have been for awhile, and I don't want to backslide, but I was up a lot overnight and wanted a bit more sleep. Note to self about nighttime routines – large amounts of tea result in large amounts of pee. Tommy continues to be more pleasant, a welcome change. I found that our high-conflict moment yesterday correlated with a heart rate warning I'd not caught until today. I don't know which is worse. I set aside a bluetooth mouse for my mom and pulled in a keyboard fo my own needs only to find the battery cover so tightly sealed due to battery corrosion that the quarter I used to attempt to pry it open with, gave first. So yeah that's in the trash, both the quarter and the keyboard. Went to SRC. She's eating well and making eye contact with me but not talking. We did FaceTime with Kathy D and the nieces. Grabbed Lauren and took her to Vista Center for rework of Bioptics. Made it back with time to spare so she drove to work from Matson through backstreets and then up Union and Camden. Did very well. Heard back from RoKu about a scheduled meeting. Provided a requested blurb to Jane of BIG based on our initial interview and something I'd said and it might be used with attribution so that'll be nice. Tommy brought home Clam Chowder from Old Fisherman's Grotto in Monterery – such a great surprise, so thoughtful, knows it's my absolute favorite. Enjoyed a bowl. Spent time with Jen talking over some things since we've had limited time to be/stay connected. I'm so grateful she's so patient through all this crap and my many MANY moods and changes of direction navigating it all.
