I slept in a bit, just until 7 am. I got in a couple of meditations which was welcome, given I'd missed them recently. I started listening to and immediately applying aspects of the audiobook "Four Thousand Weeks". To my delight, I pulled out the last of the stored t-shirts and sweatshirts, and it's all fitting again. I thinned out things a bit and dropped those off at Savers, and passed some items Tommy's way. I still have too much and have yet to worth through the button-downs again but will soon. Jen came with me to drop Lauren and pick up 50 tennis balls from a seller in Cupertino, which will keep Lucky happy for, oh, maybe 6 months? We meandered about, did some grocery shopping, then she went and visited Cheryl briefly. It was Lauren's last day at Vasona – they packed up and put everything away for the winter. She's now free on weekends again and to celebrate we did a mountain drive and got burgers for her and Jen at In 'n Out. My friend's pending "intervention" has been delayed by his daughter, and his sister is keeping on top of things. Lauren had to work at 7 and so she walked there from Matson while Jen and I went to Tommy's hockey game at 6. It was a great game. I consciously intentionally put my phone away the entire time. It felt great to have reduced distractions and focused on being present, watching my son, and being excited about the whole game, and especially his GOAL! He made a goal and by doing so, secured their win. We hit GOBM briefly and I stocked up on some "Mooala" while it's still in stock. It's been a really good day – I think I'm going to relisten to "Four Thousand Weeks" a couple more times before returning the loan (library) so I can reinforce some of what I'm learning and feeling inspired by.
